I have mixed feelings about central Riga glass buildings that have been built recently - they certainly look better than what it was before - empty plots or ruins. The thing is, it does not complement the old architecture with Art Nouveau elements. I like Edinburgh in this regard - the old has been preserved creating unique atmosphere and the new has found its own place away from the old city.

Riga or New York?
I like the new ones, but would hate to think that they might detract from the charm of the old.
It can be a difficult balance, as you say...
