The exhibition Kerbedz: Following Engineering Ideas by DJA is located in the manor house Luznava Manor. The building is located in the village of Lūznava, some 230 kilometers from Latvia's capital Riga.

The exhibition is inspired by a 19th-century civil engineer named Stanislav Kerbedz, who was the owner of Luznava Manor. The house was also built by his daughter. The exhibition is located in three rooms in the basement of the mansion and is interactive. 

Three rooms make up the exhibition Kerbedz: Following Engineering Ideas by DJA. The first of these is the Hall of Fame, where you can learn about Kerbedz's career over the years and all the awards he received. Each of the awards is designed as an interactive object that tells a story. 

The second room is designed like a classroom, as Kerbedz was a professor of engineering at the university. Finally, the third room is the hologram room. Here you can see objects related to the mansion and engineering structures in a 360-degree landscape.

Description of project by DJA

The exhibition Kerbedz: Following The Engineering Ideas is inspired by Stanislav Kerbedz (1810–1899), a 19th-century civil engineer. Kerbedz was also the landowner of Luznava Manor and his daughter built Luznava Manor. The interactive exposition is located in three rooms of the Manor's basement.

In the first room - Hall of Fame you can get acquainted with Kerbedz's professional career through the decades at the moments when he received awards. Each of the awards is designed as a stylized interactive object on the wall, which audiovisually tells a story about the engineer's achievements. On the interactive screen in the center of the room, you can travel around the map of Europe and get acquainted with the engineering projects of Kerbedz.

Kerbedz has also been a lecturer in engineering at the university, so the second room is designed as a classroom. Just like in an unusual lesson in physics or history, visitors can learn about the beginnings of building bridges, tunnels, and railways, as well as the laws of physics that affect the construction and the difficulties that engineers have had to overcome. In the classroom at the blackboard, anyone interested is also invited to test their knowledge in engineering, as well as skills in building bridges and other structures.

The third Hologram room is a place where you can see various objects related to Luznava Manor and engineering structures in the 360-degree landscape. Here the visitor is addressed by Kerbedz himself in the image of the ghost of Luznava Manor.
