Foreword

The second competition in a design series focused on Liepaja Seaside Park (Liepaja, Latvia) to be presented a vision for a new development that would consist of thermal pool park with outdoor and indoor SPA facilities. Over 90 innovative, creative and well elaborated submissions were received from all over the world; evaluation of each proposal was conducted in an ethical, professional, accurate and technically adequate manner.

The Consultative Jury Committee consisting of experts and professionals in the field chose 10 finalists whose proposals were handed over to the Core Jury Committee for a further evaluation. After an interesting and engaging debate in Liepaja - “in the city where the wind was born” - the winners of the project were chosen.

The main aspects taken into consideration, making a decision was integration of the complex in the urban design and urban settings of the town, environmental capacity, sustainability, functionality and financial viability.

Bee Breeders architecture competition organisers and Liepaja City Council would like to express our gratitude to all the participants who took their time and talent to share their unique ideas on the competition topic. Your work and effort is appreciated very much and we value your skills and expertise highly. Below, the Core Jury Committee describes the three winning proposals.
