assume that the idea that Neo-Classicism suddenly popped up in Rīga’s<br />

architecture sometime around 1910 requires some revision in the realm of décor.<br />

An understanding of the façade décor of Art Nouveau-era buildings<br />

in Rīga in the overall context of European art is based on the extent to which this<br />

décor has been preserved. Rīga makes it possible to monitor trends that were<br />

typical in the architecture of Berlin, Dresden and also Warsaw, but which were lost<br />

irreversibly because of the destruction of war.<br />

Although the role of examples can often be seen in décor, we must<br />

remember the typical and differing attitude of that period in time vis-à-vis the<br />

concept of copying others. The element of crafts in décor is subject to different<br />

criteria of evaluation in the present day, and this allows us to make note of the<br />

uniqueness of that element.<br />

The materials that have been discovered in writing this dissertation<br />

are available for further research in such areas as a more in-depth consideration of<br />

the styles and specifics of individual architects. New materials remain to be found<br />

about companies which produced decorative paintings or sculptures, as well as<br />

about individual sculptors who worked in this area.<br />
