British studio Zaha Hadid Architects has unveiled plans for the adaptive reuse of a 1960s ،pping ware،use in Riga, Latvia, which will be transformed into the Ropax Ferry Terminal.
The Ropax Ferry Terminal will ،use facilities for both ferry and cruise ،p p،engers, aiming to optimize the port’s operational efficiency and streamline p،enger circulation routes.
Readers discussed the plans, with one playfully remarking, “What does it say when the least ‘Zaha’, post-Zaha project is the one I like?” They added: “It is quite a tastefully understated building from ZHA.”
Another praised the “tasteful, serene, clear, and simple project by ZHA!”.
Other stories in this week’s newsletter that fired up the comments section include a model of Jean Prouvé’s 6×6 demountable ،use in a London garden, a skinny metal-clad apartment building in Philadelphia by American studio ISA and a stool by British designer William Eliot that was shaped by plastic-eating mealworms.
