“Astra Zariņa – A Force of Nature” is a process that introduces to the legacy of a renowned Latvian-born architect and educator Astra Zariņa. Her values of the urban environment, historical heritage, and role of culture in architecture, as well as her contribution to the study of Rome and the preservation of Civita di Bagnoregio, have inspired generations of architects around the world. The process has initiated student workshop “Civita 2023”, exhibition “Rome and the Teacher, Astra Zariņa”, conference “Rixarch 2024: Blind Spot”, and work on the reissue of her seminal book “I Tetti di Roma”.
