GRACIANO MACARRÓN STAMP

As anchor and counterpoint in the new “Hanza-Quarter“, the Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art takes on a position of “non-iconicity“. Appearing like a simple shed or warehouse, this proposal deliberately avoids architectural comparison with the contemporary expressionism of the new residential and of ce developments in its immediate context. Neither does it enter into the increasingly in aflationary global competition for architectural extravagance in museums. The Latvian Museum for Contemporary Art will be a place of quiet but strong character, intimacy and surprise.
