- This richly illustrated book is the result of a international research project and photographic field work over a period of several years. It is dedicated to astute readers who, in the same way as the authors, appreciate the development of Riga in a European context and see the architecture of Latvia's capital city as developing in parallel with the achievements of world architecture.
