Building for the future Drafts for the Museum's enlargment project, which we call Nākotnes Nams (NN, Building for the Future), have been completed, and the City Building Office has issued an architectural planning permit setting forth certain conditions and approvals that must be obtained before preparation of technical drawings. The project's architect, notable Latvian-American architect Gunars Birkerts, believes: "The Bretheren's Cemetery, the Freedom Monument, and the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia are three symbolically important points in Riga's city plan." About the Museum's new form he says: "The architecture of the Occupation Museum facade composition, both on the side of Rātslaukums (Town Hall Square) and on the side of Strēlnieku laukums (Riflemen's Square), is a significant testifier to its era's architecture and a contributor to the formation of Riga's city environment."
