We are looking forward to the second Grand Tour that will bring us to Latvia and Estonia. Traveling along the Baltic coast from Riga up until Tallinn will allow us to explore the rich architectural history of this Northern European region. During this trip, there will be a particular focus on the socialist modernism - ambiguous architectural heritage from the Soviet occupation period.
The first Grand Tour brought us to Italy, traveling to the cities of Milan, Bologna, Cesena, Pesaro, Modena and Parma. It was not only a unique opportunity to visit and experience extraordinary examples of architecture, but also the first in-person consortium meeting.
