Zuzeum, a new, multifunctional art center design by Annvil has been opened in Riga, Latvia. Reconstruction, territory development plans, facilities, and interior of the historical building have a significant contribution to the Baltic`s art infrastructure. Zuzeum’s development is an important step in advancing the entire city of Riga and an industrial neighborhood of Zuzeum. Sustainability Zuzeum is housed in a former cork factory designed and built in 1910. “An influx of energy is being encouraged that will attract people and help revitalize this part of the city. This is a very important moment, and also encourages new discussion—to go beyond just preserving existing buildings, instead to evaluate the possibilities of adaptive reuse by injecting these buildings with new functions and, consequently, bring new life into them,” says Anna Bates, the author of the project and founder of Annvil. Creativity With the opening of Zuzeum, Riga has acquired a new and unused public outdoor space, that is a significant investment in the physical, social, economic, symbolic, and aesthetic development of the city. Zuzeum’s outdoor space is made as a purposeful meeting place where different social groups interact, form relationships, and strengthen a sense of community. With this concept, we are offering a new communal space in the city, where the private and public coalesce—meet, share, debate, converge, relax, make friends, and experience its discoveries. Zuzeum orange stimulates an appetite for communication and promotes dialogue, whilst inspiring physical and mental processes that trigger the flow of thoughts and human actions, increasing the need for adventure and social interaction, encouraging one to look on the bright side of life. Inclusivity Located in between the historical centre of Riga, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the upcoming Rail Baltica railway integrating Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, and Warsaw into the European rail network. The building was designed in a cosmopolitan, multilingual, and dynamic period in the history of Riga, it has survived wars and crises, and now it is being reopened to continue the conversation about the city and art. In its essence, the integral spatial design of the new Zuzeum is human-centric and all-inclusive. Functionality Zuzeum invites everyone to experience art in 4,000 sq. m, spread over two galleries, a sculpture garden, workshop area, café, roof terrace, and an art shop. The multifunctional approach increases the occupancy of the building and provides effective use throughout the day. Each area is designed to interact with others. Innovation Interpretive planning and innovation succeed best when coupled with attention to detail. In the innovative design of ZUZEUM are encoded the values that the art center wants to pass on to visitors, and how space will affect the people who will visit. The purpose of the design is to curate interaction between people.
