The aim of the project is to rebuild the former building of the Riga Light Industry Technical School in Riga, A.Briāna iela 13 into a modern prototyping (production of new product samples) workshop “Riga Makerspace”. Thus, the public space of Riga (1500 m2) will be renovated, public buildings (3600 m2) will be built and renovated.
A total of six workshops corresponding to the educational programmes of the Riga School of Design and Art (RSDA) and the Art Academy of Latvia (AAL) are planned at A.Briāna iela 13, which will ensure a high-quality and competitive study process. While seminars, festivals, lectures, etc. events will be available to anyone else interested in the Lifelong learning Prototyping services centre.
Energy efficiency improvement measures aimed at improving energy efficiency and energy management have been separated. As a result of energy efficiency improvement measures, it is planned to achieve 83.78 (kWh/m2 per year) heat consumption for heating in the building.
Design is becoming an increasingly popular part of the industry around the world. In order for young Latvian designers, who are already achieving significant success in the world, to be able to fully create and develop their prototypes, suitable premises are needed. Hopefully, in several years, our new talents will be able to do practical work in new, modern premises.
