profile

I am Domile Gelzinyte, I currently work in an architecture studio in Amersfoort, the Netehrlands. Two years ago I have obtained a master’s degree in architecture, a program of the built environment faculty at the University of Eindhoven. During my studies and professional work I have learned that my passion and my best qualities are in design based on strong concepts, that remain in a project from draft to realization. The challenges that come with it brings me great inspiration and motivates me to think of innovative and unconventional design solutions. I also think that continuity should be the aim of any architectural intervention: in order to continue architectural culture one has to build on it, and by that, also change it. The following portfolio contains a selection of my Bachelor and Master projects in Vilnius and Eindhoven, as well as professional work. I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.

MASTER THESIS 2014-2015 Graduation Studio ‘Gran Torino’ Tutor: prof.dipl.-ing. Christian Rapp

MIXED USE IN RAILWAY AREA This thesis is a part of the Graduation Studio ‘Gran Torino’, written during the second and final year of the architecture master’s program at the Technical University of Eindhoven. The first part of the Graduation Studio resulted in a publication, created as a joint effort by the students, covering the historical development of Turin, Italy. This project is the second part, answering the research question raised during the analysis of the city and concluding in two masterplans (stage 1 and stage 2) and a building design (hybrid).

In the city center of Turin just on the edge of the old-town, a railway line

of the design lies in the idea of creating sequence of spaces and connections

new station creating an opportunity for an urban intervention on the railway

with mixed-use blocks that derived from an in depth research of Via Roma

line. The project engages with the redevelopment of this vast area, trying to

reconstruction.

stage 1

Main axis from the city center and secondary axis towards Lingotto area

As an important part of Turinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity, grid is one of the main aspects of the masterplan.

A sequence of spaces and monuments provide structure and embrace the remembrance of the area.

The monuments are emphasized by shaping the blocks around them and placing public areas in front or nearby.

The two neighbourhoods are connected through streets by extending and rearranging the grid lines from both areas and creating public spaces in between.

To connect the opposing streets the buildings on the perimeter of the railway are proposed to be replaced by blocks and streets connecting the neighborhoods

A large scale area to be developed in the city center is an opportunity to create a new neighborhood with its own character opposed to the monumental central area along via Roma.

A new link is made between zones that previously were only connected by railway tracks and high traffic streets. A connection for pedestrians and cyclist is made in the masterplan to implement all transport modes.

stage 2

The masterplan

Mixed use in the masterplan is designed to accentuate the main street, create connections on secondary streets and give a start to permanence to the new area (based on L.Krier diagram).

Emphasis on pedestrian and bike traffic

System of porticoes

Edges to mark the boundaries of the area

Sequence of spaces and connections

The

ybrid

As the ultimate example of a mixed use block, typology of a hybrid building was chosen. The hybrid is placed on an important connection between two neighborhoods. Entering the square of the hybrid from the main street, which is the main axis of the area, the importance of it shifts to the horizontal street between the neighborhoods. The shift is emphasized by the elongated square, large entrances from the street, open spaces in the building placed on this direction and the pavement covering the square.

The hybrid consists of four building blocks connected by additional volumes, forming an inner square shapeded by the building walls, a sort of an urban scale courtyard. Every courtyard is distinct from each other, defined by the function around it.

The importance of mixed use from the masterplan is expressed in the hybrid by including different functions within one building - connected mixed use. The hybrid could be classified as a Fabric Hybrid, where all of the functions fit inside of the volume, determined by the urban grid. The building consists Library

of a number of different functions: library with a bookstore, theater, offices, sport center, residencies, hotel, restaurants, shops, cinema and residential areas on top. These functions are spread throughout the whole building, most of them concentrating around one of the courtyards. Another important type of connections is the visual one. Most of the courtyards are in some way open to the residents of the top floors, where they can observe the occurrences below.

FUNERAL HOME Type:

Individual project

Year:

2012 Individual project

Tutor:

Alvidas Zickis

Place:

Vilnius, Lithuania

The project for the Bachelor thesis was to design a funeral parlor in Naujamiestis district of Vilnius in Liepynes cemetery. The focus is placed on the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces in an effort to create comfortable and private spaces in a building of sensitive use.

The complex of one level building and a chapel is designed on a rectangular site. A composition of two volumes was created based on different purposes of the building. The program includes administrative area, technical rooms and funeral facilities.

The surrounding environment had a great impact on the architectural concept which was designed only after completing a full analysis of Liepynes cemetery, analogue studies and analysis of building typologies.

The interiors of mourning halls and the chapel are characterized by the use of clear shapes, light and textures, creating visually calm spaces.

HOUSING in bajoru road Type:

Individual project

Year:

2010

Tutor:

Andre Baldisiute

Place:

Vilnius, Lithuania

HOUSING The task of this academic project was to design a multiple-dwelling building with public facilities. The main part of the project was the analysis of synthesis between sculpture and architecture which resulted in designing a sculpturally expressive building complex in an urban environment.

Site plan

The location of the multi-building complex is in the northern part of Vilnius, Bajoru road. The site consists of three buildings in the corners of the plot creating an inner courtyard for the residents. The buildings are low-rise: one four stories high and two three stories high. There are 3-4 floor apartments on each floor with offices on the ground floors. Entries for the residents are positioned in the courtyard and the entries for the offices - from the street.

The building is composed out of expressive platforms rotated 45 degrees on each floor. In this way almost every apartment has a terrace and the majority of the apartments do not have common walls with neighbors.

At the level of public spaces, underground parking lot is designed to support facilities, bike storage, elevator and staircases. The layout of residential floors is characterized by the staircase with a lift on the central axis of the building, from which in four directions square areas are positioned. Most of the living areas extend to outdoor terraces.

Reflection Part of the task was to prepare technical drawings regarding construction, water, heating and ventilation systems. In other words, it was the time of realization how closely interconnected are the two sides of architecture â&#x20AC;&#x201C; design and engineering, how important it is to know your craft to be able to create something worthwhile.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Type:

Individual project

Year:

2010

Tutor:

Saulius Pemerneckis

Place:

Vilnius, Lithuania

The task was to design an elementary school in Vilnius near the river Neris and Valakampiai bridge with a provided program. The project was inspired by the nature surrounding the site and the specific requirements and ideas for designing for children. Light, bright and large safe open spaces was the key element in the school design.

Engaging group activities The main principle of the school design was to create various private spaces for separate children groups and bigger common areas while maintaining close distances between them. The children are encouraged to engage in various activities throughout the whole school, explore their creativity and feel safe and insipired at the same time.

The main hall - central point of the building - is located at the entrance right next to the event hall/dining room. The space is open and naturally lighten from two sides. A large staircase, which is also suited to be as a sitting/gathering place, acts as the main element connecting the two levels of the building.

A number of spaces are designed for various activities throughout the entire building: a gardening area, sport hall, two outdoor playgrounds (smaller closed one for the younger children, bigger open one for the more unrestricted interactions), flexible event/dining hall.

Impression of the garden

According to research soft wavy forms as well as bright colors stimulate the creativity of children. Form fluidity and easily identified spaces were an integral aspect of the school design. A scheme of bright colors help the children to assign a purpose to the spaces and orient themselves in the building.

HEINEKEN HOUSE Type:

Individual project

Year:

2014

Tutor:

Renato Kindt

Place:

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Holland Heineken House in Brazil is a theme for an academic project. The aim is to design a well-organized temporary building to host the fans of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The most important aspects of the project were the analysis of the location, structural possibilities, materials, temporarity of the building and the symbiosis between Brasil and Dutch cultures, the representation of their art, traditions, character and transfering them into an architectural expression

The building is located on the beach Praia Vermelha. The main aspects of the design include the distinction between strict Dutch forms and grided expression and the brazilian fluent improvisation, nature inspired designs; following the historical axis and the aproximate boundaries of the previous building; using redesigned beer crates as a building material.

What is a temporary structure? Easily assembled and disassembled, leaving nothing behind.

What materials are available at the location? Sand, water, wood (nearby)

What could it be made of? Light strong material, able to be formed to fragments, pieces.

What if the material is brought to location, used for building and then reused for something else?

Could the material itself be temporary? Sand, ice, bubbles, smoke...

What will be brought to the location? People, beer, beer bottles, CRATES

Heineken house The modular building structure is made out of empty beer crates. The assembling and disassembling is an uncomplicated process.

One of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;do it yourself â&#x20AC;? areas

Where the magic happens Crates from the building structure including elements created by the visitors are brought back to the factory and filled with beer bottles.

The whole building sructure is made out of beer crates - “boxes”. The crates will be retrieved after the building is disassembled and used as normal beer crates; if needed used again as a building blocks.

THE (HOPEFULLY) VICIOUS CYCLE New building material During the never-ending party more and more empty crates are available to be reused.

Let’s party! The people of Heineken house celebrate victories or drown their sorrows by drinking Heineken beer!

Bring it All the full crates of the delicious beer are packed and delivered to the location of the event.

Power to the people! Visitors are free to improve the building, create their own spaces and furniture from the empty crates.

Where the magic happens Heineken beer is produced in one of the many fabrics wordlwide and placed into the crates.

The main axis of the building separating the two volumes and acting as an entrance follows the main area axis. Perpendicular to it a winnerÂ´s axis was designed that goes across the whole building. Secondary axes are parallel to the city axes and go through the open halls.

The two `sandboxes` are in open areas challenging the visitors to create spaces for themÂŹselves to be protected from the sun and heat, create seating and art from the same empty beer boxes used for constructing the building . Everyday there would be extra boxes to use for building.

The box itself was designed to hold beers, as well to create structures without extra tools - stacking the boxes using only the inner forces of the box and gravity.The final design of the box lies in the simplicity. The connections are easily understandable and strong. This would both help at the construction site and when the building is finished for the visitors who build their own structures.

This project is an experimental student housing with movable building parts in order to avoid as many installations as possible, as well to reduce the need for heating and ventilation. The cornerstone idea of the project is that buildings or parts of buildings can be moved in order to react sun exposure, wind, users preferences and to rearrange the space.

The walls of student rooms can be moved to expand the common room. In this scenario the apartment can fit more people and activities.

The apartment can be expanded even more by removing partitions between terraces belonging to each room and opening sliding faรงade parts to connect them to the common room. This scenario is most suited for summer parties or ventilating the apartment.

FIRST INSPIRATION As it usually happens, the first sketches are very conceptual and unrealistic but at the same time clearly states the main ideas behind it. Here is also provided a first approach to the same topic for student housing. Even though the final project has changed substantially, this still stands as a small manifesto for moving architecture.

INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY SYSTEM

Tries to safe as much energy as he can and produces some by himself (special activities like bikes, games, running track, dancing etc.) Compete with each other for the best position

Decides who succeded to get the best consumed / produced energy ratio and provides energy to move the room

CONSUME LESS & PRODUCE MORE - GET THE BEST SPOT! A game / activity for students to motivate / make them aware of energy consumption and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost
