Note(s) : The building of the National Library of Latvia is a landmark of the capital city of
Riga, a spatial symbol and architectural icon, created by one of the 20th-century-renowned
modernists, the Latvian-born American architect Gunnar Birkerts. His metaphorically
saturated and expressionist architecture has established its permanent place in the
history of contemporary architecture. The unique creative style of Birkerts stems
from his deep cultural roots in Latvia, his architectural studies in Germany after
World War II and the first years of architectural practice in the USA learning from
the Finnish architect Eero Saarinen and the Japanese architect Minoru Yamasaki
