Together with the tutors of the studio, visiting jury members were invited to review the projects - Cynthia Markhoff, Kelly Nelson and Zaiga Gaile. The jury of the final project will be the apotheosis of one year of intensive work performed by the first year students of the RISEBA FAD. In the faculty the design studio is the central place where students can explore and experiment with the design of architecture, a place where we are “thinking by making”, a process in which rationality meets intuition and culture meets engineering.

Henrijs Vigo Lācis (24.12.1929.-14.07.2012.) pazīstams kā būvinženieris, kurš projektējis Latvijā daudzas nozīmīgas ēkas. Arhitektūra ir inženieru pūliņu spogulis, jo viņu veikumu tīrā veidā nereti ir grūti parādīt. Visbiežāk tieši šī iemesla dēļ būvinženieru darbs negūst tādu ievērību kā arhitektu veikums, lai arī tieši inženieri ir tie, kas arhitektu domu spārnoto lidojumu padara realizējamu.
