New Town
1998, (8'21'')


Located in the heart of the historical Old Town of Riga (Latvia) inscribed upon the World Heritage List of UNESCO, "New Town" project is a wide-ranging urban and economic revitalization program, covering an area of 15 hectares.
On the 19th of October 1998, "New Town" project has been submitted to the Latvian authorities to take place within the context of competition. The present video represents one element of the submission, realized in addition to some reports, models and others documents, to promote the urban concepts proposed. It was also a good way for our architectural agency and investment consortium to incorporate some new technologies (computer animations in 3D, video technologies, design development and architectural works from afar -"Netmeeting"-), as well as a proper solution to present a 21st century urban development project in a country coming from 50 years of Soviet system.

Il video New Town č parte degli elaborati di concorso inviati per presentare il progetto di sviluppo urbano della cittā di Riga dopo 50 anni di dominio sovietico. Il progetto, localizzato nel cuore della cittā, prevede la rivitalizzazione urbana ed economica di un area di 15 ettari e si avvale, per la presentazione, di nuove tecnologie quali animazioni 3D e Netmeeting..
