设计团队United Riga Architects，简称U-R-A，它们和Evgeni Leonov团队密切合作，共同赢得了以Alberta广场改造为主题的设计竞赛，并受邀完成对该广场的建设。该项目位于Latvia首都Riga市，由于该地区是一个著名的文化遗产名地，在古代的时候，第一批Latvian居民就定居在这里，而且，该地区也有着丰厚的Riga的特色黑药酒的文化遗产，这种酒是由中世纪时期的药剂师Abraham Kunce创造的，他就住在这片地区。结合该地区的历史韵味以及专业的景观设计手段，该团队出色的完成了该任务。

设计师们从之前M. Lejnieks提出的理念中获得灵感，希望在该广场上放置一个木制的海上遇难船只的模型，该设计的亮点就在于它利用了一个船只的轮廓与形象，来展现了历史手工业技术的繁荣，同时又像是一个时光机器，像人们展现了二十世纪时期的Riga市的形象。此外，设计团队别出心裁地在场地中加入了一个喷泉装置，但是喷泉里面并没有水，游客们甚至可以在里面行走或者坐在里面，木制的地板和阶梯不禁让人们想起Riga在过去也曾是一个繁华的港口。所以在一定程度上来说，该景观有具有很深刻的教育意义。

U-R-A | United Riga Architects and Evgeni Leonov have won the competition to renovate Alberta Square in Riga, Latvia. The design combines the historical heritage of the site as the location of the first ancient Latvian settlements in Riga with the cultural heritage of Riga Black Balsam, a drink created by medieval pharmacist Abraham Kunce, who lived around the corner from the site.

Drawing from a previous concept developed by M. Lejnieks that intended to place a wooden shipwreck model in the square, the new winning design features glass “in a ship silhouette form, which exhibits historical artifacts found in excavations” below grade, to serve as a sort of time machine displaying twelfth century Riga.The project additionally includes a “dry fountain” space in which visitors can walk or sit that is reminiscent of Riga as an ancient port through its wooden flooring and wave-like steps.In honor of Kunce, a monument in the silhouetted shape of the Riga Black Balsam bottle, entitled The Spiral of Kunce’s Life, is located at the side of the square. The spiral can be walked through like a tunnel, and serves as a “portal” to the square.
