In the open international sketch design competition for the construction of the Rail Baltica bridge and complex development of the central multi-modal public transport hub in Riga, the jury awarded second place to two entries, as none of the sketch designs met all the criteria of the contracting party. The competition was launched at the beginning of July this year by Eiropas Dzelcela Linijas, implementing the 1st stage of the Rail Baltica project in Latvia.
The two second-place finishers are Latvia’s Outofbox (in cooperation with RUUME Arhitekti, Vektors T, E.Danisevska Birojs and Landshape) and a design firm from Denmark (‘PLH Arkitekter A/S in cooperation with COWI A/S), and both will get a prize of EUR 45,000.
Eiropas Dzelzcela Linijas (European Rail Lines) will hold talks with both companies to arrive at the best solution. Construction is to start by 2022.
