Marupe council house


Marupe is an urban continuity of Riga. MARUPE is made up from two words - Mar and Upe. Upe means "a river" (because there is a river Marupite going through it). Mar means Māra - the highest Baltic (female) deity. It is not clear if it is linked to Marry through Crusaders.

Pay in and Pay out machines


Technological unemployment.

It will hit all of us one day. Robots took over manufacturing in last century. They are taking over service industry at the time of writing. When there will be no jobs, there will be no money for us spend and no one will be able to use any products and services.

Project Z- towers, Z-torņi.


Tower (in Latvian - tornis) in Old English was called "torr", meaning high structure - from Latin turris.
Possibly linked to Etruscan verb turan "to rule" and later tyrant (in Latvian - tirāns).

In other words - a tyrannical structure ruling over Riga skyline.
