The various chapters devoted to the brilliant masters of architecture in Riga, as well as their creative accomplishments, have been arranged in this book so as to create a coherent picture of the multi-faceted and simultaneously coordinated image of the cityscape in the course of its development. The chapters are grouped in three sections according to periods of architectural style - Eclecticism, Art Nouveau, and Functionalism. Thus, each chapter is a narration not only of a particular master, but also about architecture in general, within the context of the specific features in the development of art building in Riga during each of the separate time periods.
