KIPSALA LOOP
Kipsala Island masterplan
The masterplan has been developed for the northern part of Kipsala, a small brownfield area on the Daugava river close to the city centre of Riga, the capital of Latvia.
Two coastline areas are connected by a central, linear public space which enhances the high quality green character of the new settlement.
The green loop collaborates with the river to create a strong urban identity. A clear structure of public spaces is the basis for a radical mix of functions, spaces, scales, uses, densities and architectural expressions.
The project has been awarded with a Honourable Mention at Europan 7.
