A rc hi tect u re in M isfit E nv iro n ment s: Gardens of Forgiveness
This project works with a post-traumatic area of Beirut, which has an archaeological opening created during bombings of ’64 and ’73. The concept of how to revive the site and patch up the city is to superimpose different structures with different functions on top of each other. By using this method we can reflect on the multilayered context, while dividing a huge task into smaller pieces. The project has three main layers: The bottom layer has the archaeological ruins which are exhibited but not “touched”. The middle layer is an interpretation of the passed historic structures. The top layer is a completely new lightweight translucent tent structure, which reacts to the bottom layers while keeping its modern appearance.

Micro_house is an interactive robotic structure which reacts to events that take place inside of it. Each person inside of the pavilion gets a minimal volume (negative), while everything else is completely solid/ closed. While traversing the pavilion a person “carries“ his own space. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1 Scheme - The concept of minimal space is subjective. So the space itself becomes a variable, which is determined by the user ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 2 Scheme - While resting, the pavilion is a completely static box. Once there are visitors the facade of pavilion starts deforming into amorphic forms, which reflect the activities which are held inside of the building. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 3 Scheme - Each visitors location inside of the pavilion is measured with simple sensors (x,y coord.) . Once visitors come close together, their “spaces“ morph into one “groupspace“. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 4 Scheme - The previously stated effect is achieved by having a frame structure with horizontal stripes incorporated into the framing. These strips can move in one direction (fig.1). 11//

Media Center in Vilnius is designed around extremely intense pedestrian flows which are already present in the area. The main purpose of developement is to ease the pass of people through the site, which has an extremely steep slope. The building becomes entangled with the landscape and at times there is no actual boundary where the building ends and where the landscape begins.

Gallery_01 is an extention of an already existing architectural enseble in Tymas quarter. The volume consists of 3 stages which can be read from right to left. First there is the complete imitation phase, where the gallery comes in contact with its neighbour, then there is a distorted contemporary version where the gallery becomes light and translucent, and on third stage the gallery comes back to imitating a static structure. This creates ground for infinite continuity.

The core of Gallery_01 is translucent. This effect is achieved through a simple panelling system shown on the right. Framework (fig.3) consists of holed segments (fig.4). Some of the segments are filled with translucent elements (fig.2), thus creating a semi transparent and semi translucent pattern (fig.1)

Aesthetics of Decay workshop held in AHO was meant to give a better understanding about how destructive processes change architecture and if there are any benefits (or so to say - aesthetics) in this process. This project proposes a shift in how we view urban decay (be it actual physical decay, like cracks in the walls, or man made decay, like graffiti). These marks on the exterior become a shell of their own, which has a variable tranparency, once the transparency reaches zero percent, the architecture benieth cannot be perceived and all that’s left is decay itself. Once we can “excract“ the marks of destruction, or rather change, we can start to analyze them and look for aesthetic values within them. This project proposes a sub title for the workshop: “Decay As a Skin“. 21//

In 2015 the Ministry of Culture in Lithuania together with Vilnius Academy of Arts began a project oriented towards the reconstruction of all Lithuanias kindergardens which were built in 60’s and 70’s. During that period 5 typologies were used, thus a group of 5 architecture companies were assembled. Kindergarden “Ladybug“ is a /pilot/ project for the LD-05 kindergarden type.
