N410 SYNTHESIS OF BIO URBANISM URBAN REGENERATION OF THE BLOCK AURIFICIA, PORTO, PORTUGAL in collaboration with A.Navidauskas and J.Rimeika competition. August - September 2013 Regeneration process of N41 block is represented as a model example for potential rebirth of a neighbourhood in Porto city. The research states an importance of urban coherence while dealing with regional and local issues. Proposed synthesis of urban elements seeks the best results corresponding to the existing needs. Urban synthesis here is used as a method based on dialectical approach to the city. The research of N41 site begins by looking at a defined area and its influential zones in the city. A dense mesh, well-established system of collective spaces, gardens and beautiful buildings - all come into a highly homogeneous urban fabric which rare city can be proud of. Due to existing complexity of Porto city and the location of N41 site the main interest is given to existing spatial arrangement and morphology of urban blocks.Proposed land use has a fundamental effect on resource and energy consumption and waste management. The concept of new urban design indicates existing greenery and water sources as a driving part of a long –term sustainable development in N41 block.

Vegetation cover is remarkably high of the area, assisted by developed and potential public open spaces inside the neighbourhood and well established private gardens. The proposal intends to connect this area with a network of ecological system. Formed neighbourhood model can later be carried on to other sites. Sustainable urban transformation here basically includes waste, greenery and water conservation, reuse and treatment. The main importance is given to water infrastructure. Use of water pumping systems, rain water collection of roofs and ground surfaces can evolve into continuous infrastructure in Porto. Recovery of urban water basins will reinstate them as a public space. While investigating this purposive transformation of the area, water-sensitive urban design has a potential to be established. This approach looks to capture, store, use and slowly dissipate water. Site strategy seeks to improve permeability and legibility in the area. Considering walking as the most sustainable form of transportation, residential neighbourhoods are linked together ensuring

easy navigation. New proposal responds to existing network of the city while opening more entrances to the site, together extending its potential. New spatial arrangement improves visual appearance and provides mixed housing opportunities with a better choice of attractions and activities in the area. The proposal brings public destination concept into the neighbourhood which particular location derelict in between the two very important points: Downtown and Boavista.

Using complex method for urban renewal of defined block gives us a possibility to restate its physical boundaries and regulate intensity on human experiences. Various elements of urban design are proposed to be used as ingredients for specific kind of urban space. This is how particular elements are synthesized Rua A lvares Cabra l together rethinking new needs and possibilities of the city. Public facilities fill the city and make concentration points. Eventually, they dilate to some extent and develop character to the areas nearby till they become a link connecting the other public facility. A network of well-known public places is connected with social interest. Traditional social metabolism is defined as a continuous circle where maximum of existing resources are gas Rua dos Bra used and waste is rapidly recycled. Distinctive character can be achieved by organizing urban structure. When space becomes suitable for territorial needs it evolve to a successful place which eventually develops potential to become a destination. The main idea of a renewal of N41 site is based on a relationship with a city as whole. Neighbourhood renewal project seeks to join public space network and create pleasant public realm. Lively environment creates a meaning of a living place.

SHOREDITCH ARCHERY PROJECT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT IN SHOREDITCH, LONDON urban design and development planning skills module January - April 2013 Shoreditch neighbourhood is one of the most active areas in London where public and private interests meet, cultural diversity creates attractive social life and daytime uses are changed by equally vibrant night time activities. This area located just on the East-North corner of the main London’s city centre is still growing or improving its surroundings. Long Street site occupies the area of 4ha which is deﬁned by Kingsland and Hackney roads and shorter Waterson and Cremer Streets. This area extends on North – South direction. Majority of the site is underused and poor quality. Spatially site area is divided in two parts because of the overground railway structure which ever since was an obstacle for clear residential development. Inner core of the site with small industrial uses needs to change in terms of demand for residential housing and site legibility. The goal of new development is to arrange built form with respect to existing presence. There are just a few historical or new buildings through the site which is why new built form or open space must react to the scale of surrounding development and existing activities too. The aim of design brief is to identify future development opportunities within the Long Street Site and propose a strategy which will improve the area.

The specification of Long Street site design brief started creating urban armature to a wider territory. It expands considering inner influences to specific site and defining perceptual physical barriers. The main concern is approach to the area and what elements or features lead to it. Local attractions within a walking distance are very important. That is why urban armature holds a picture of existing public structure in relation to physical appearance and significance. Proposed urban armature strengthens people’s perceptions of the area by creating new landmarks or nodes. The design brief has been prepared within the context and strategic approach to the neighbourhood. Design concept aims to create new pleasant long term built environment. Responding to existing context and local needs physical form is built in relation to open public spatial experience. New environment combines wide diversity of social and functional settlements. Design principles respond to urban design framework ideas considering spatial, morphological, contextual, visual, perceptual, social, functional and sustainable guidance. Space. The open space is designed as a figure and a figure in space between the built forms. The importance is given to pedestrians experience evoking

their senses and perception to understand or react to the context. Spatial variety is formed choosing particular layout of buildings, street patterns and speciﬁc distances between the forms. Context. New planned development responds to existing character. New development reacts to historical precedents and other valuable built form on site. In this case the main importance is given to streetscape and views, height of the buildings and materials. Movement. New connectivity network improves territorial linkages and makes area legible. Responding to a movement concept Union walk and Long Street are formed applying contrasting design principles in order to achieve different experience. Physical environment with new function becomes the main indicator in a way how the routes are linked. Sustainability. Possibility to create continuous layout of new development within the area ensures long term future, reinforces character and builds stronger community. This is the reason why not only empty land is occupied with built form but also some of existing poor quality buildings are proposed to be demolished.

URBAN ARMATURE / LONG STREET SITE VISION The specification of Long Street site design brief started creating urban armature to a wider territory. It expands considering inner influences to specific site and defining perceptual physical barriers. The main concern is approach to the area and what elements or features lead to it. Local attractions within a walking distance are very important. That is why urban armature holds a picture of existing public structure in relation to physical appearance and significance. Proposed urban armature strengthens people’s perceptions of the area by creating new landmarks or nodes. It could be stated here that the overall intention of the main strategy for the area considers not only physical environment but public activities and attractions (parks and institutions) too. New design aims to respond to existing significant area features in order to improve local character. Furthermore, clear permeability and legibility is needed. Vision of the Long street site is intended to provide better public realm ensuring easier orientation through.

Development situated into a dense urban pattern was followed by open space analysis. Here actual physical limitations were considered in relationship with a potential use of open space. Where after new spatial settings were proposed to be integrated into existing systems of open ďŹ&#x201A;ows. Existing and potential legible movements are the main factors why conscious development of open space is necessary. In order to analyse natural light and enclosures I chose to build a structure from transparent plastic. Hights in the model are used from existing or proposed built environment. Reconsidering a public realm is one of the important aims of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cities. So construction of open space could work as a fexible model celebrating an age of constant change. A positive idea about folding outside is that all different spaces are developed at the same time and combined into a continuous system of experience which later can be manipulated depending on location, changes or needs.

OPEN SPACE CONSTRUCTION

BROMLEY-BY-BOW TIDAL EXCHANGE Forgotten Spaces Competition, London, UK in collaboration with T.Buttrick May 2013

NEW PUBLIC SPACE ON BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES technical relationships in a particular settlements INSTEAD OF THE WALL specific habitats / technical performance / wall of interests DRAMATIC SCENERY in terms of limitation / access and performance for public tours Balancing a multitude of dualities and boundaries: land/water, man/nature, industry/residence, past/future, emptiness/fullness, this complex, forgotten space is framed by rhythmic cycles, flows of movement and echoes of historical exchange and industry. The site is formed by two interacting spaces. Firstly, a narrow, linear island that elegantly bisects the sedate Lee Navigation canal and tidal Bow Creek river, and secondly, the adjacent volume, riverbed and banks of Bow Creek itself. The grass-covered island space is predominately flat and low-lying and was formed through the construction and modification of the canal. It is further characterised by a disused concrete and iron foot bridge and ramp that extends from the edge of island to the eastern bank of Bow Creek, which alludes to former industry. The towpath offers walking and cycling opportunities along its western side, while a narrow concrete jetty and a low perimeter wall defines the island’s eastern edge. At night this space is poorly lit and deserted, but has good levels of activity during the day as a recreational and commuting route. The Bow Creek channeled river bed, part of the River Lea that flows southward

to the Thames, is characterised by the ebb and flow of a visible tidal range that results in a duality of character: an empty volume with a sequence of mudflats at low tide and a significant volume of impassable water at high tide. Immediately to the south lie a pair of elevated sewage pipes and the imposing Twelvetrees Crescent Road bridge that bisect both canal and river. At the southern tip of the island are the historic Bow Locks and the northern head of the Limehouse Cut. The site is framed to the north by a pair of robust iron rail bridges that carry the London Underground and main line services. Further north lies Three Mills IsIand, the Bow Back Rivers and the post-Olympic site. The east of the space is characterised by an area of pumping stations, gasworks and related infrastructure. To the west, lies a recent residential complex on the bank of the Lee Navigation, located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Access to the island and site is provided by Three Mill Lane from the north , and Bow Lock to the south. Floating platforms provide habitat for water birds and planting on the Lee Navigation.

aerial view of the site

site context

The Bow Creek Tidal Exchange is an interactive and temporal intervention that is enabled by tidal rhythms. It seeks to set a stage for the sharing of personal narratives, to invite activity into a forgotten space and echo the historic use of the river and canal as a means of exchange. The Bow Creek Tidal Exchange seeks to animate the forgotten space of Bow Creek by encouraging people to exchange and share personal narratives through the depositing and collection of objects that are left inside a series of waterproof story boxes, which only becomes accessible at low tide. This interactive and temporal intervention seeks to reconnect people to slower, natural rhythms, encourage patience in this current paradigm of instantly access information and inspire anticipation and surprise from its emergent physicality and the narrative treasure. As tide times consistently cycle on a daily basis, engagement with the intervention either requires explicit scheduling or chance encounter. The age-old concept of exchanging stories echoes the former use of the canal and river as means to exchange goods.

high tide

As the river level lowers, the Tidal Exchange story boxes that are ďŹ xed to the river bed and tidal walls are revealed alongside access ramps and pathways. This process enables to different types and intensity of engagement, from visual stimulus to active participation. The reopened and reengineered footbridge acts as a focal point for the intervention at both high and low tides, enabling visual and vertical engagement across the site. The removal of the ramp opens the site improving natural surveillance, while the landscaping on the island and access ramp extend the elegant linear ďŹ&#x201A;ow and topographic rhythm of the island its waterway companions. The of the footbridge encourages the reuse of materials to reduce energy and construction. The proposed landscaping encourages native habitats biodiversity. Ramp access to to the Tidal Exchange enables access for all.

DANCE SCHOOL ‘FACT’

DANCE SCHOOL AND PERFORMANCE HALL IN PANTIN, PARIS, FRANCE ‘ISOVER’ competition, 2nd prize in national contest, in collaboration with E.Blinstrubyte+G.Paliukaityte January - April 2010 Conception of revitalization and function REconstruction , REstoration, REhabilitation of an existing spaces shows Reorganization of PUBLIC Needs. Recreated area usually becomes an urban link between. Between zones, interests, activities, approaches and periods of time. Toward expansionshould bring not only new ideas about the architecture and its environment but also new ideas of energy efficient constructions.Towards to the concept of passive house. Solving of objective issues leading to reconstruction of industrial buildings allows finding solution in respect to a number of other serious issues, such as modernization of existing engineering systems and utilities, repairs of equipment, improvement of site transport accessibility, and other things to comfort the site for the user. It is hard to say when such a indissoluble post-industrial building like this become so mobile. Apparently because two large passive volumes ended up in such as fluid environment like this surrounded by industrial railway, flowing canal, crowded streets, constantly changing art-graffiti ( recurrent act by artists )Motion. People flows, ships, cycles, cars, industry, street art, dance. Derelict space was always in underground use. So for redesign project it is an opportunity to create there a factory for dance, performances, acting.

Property. Site . Environment Renovated warehouse is based in Paris (France), in a part of the city called Pantin. It is situated between the canal on the north and Avenue Jean Lolive on the south. Pantin is densily settled area, so people need some space to express themselves. Culmination of energy pours out on the coast. The territory is converted to active public use. Public building – new impulse to revitalize the coast, adapt industrial site to the human scale and improve social environment. The main entrance for cars is provided from the north street to the underground parking. Due to the site structure these volumes stands like a culmination of surrounded area. Site ground is shaped in different sizes and action areas for the reason to include it for peoples outdoor activ ties. Leisure. Possibilities to know, communicate, explore and express. Volumes. Space. Function Design. Building becomes a sign of the confrontation of two sites – residential and industrial. We maintain industrial character and monumentality of the building volume and strict silhouette. But there are new spaces created inside. Two volumes – two functions: dance school and performance hall. Aesthetic conception is high spaces and rough constructions covered by fragile shell.

It is triple glazing system divided into small panels witch repeats existing structure division of the façade planes. Two similar volumes and different life inside them. Performance hall – one huge volume ﬂoating above the ground covered by glazing system. The bottom frames of the glazing are empty, no entries to the building - people are welcome from all sides. Dance school has different character of volume composition. Inside the glass shell one founds some separated volumes. Main of them form longitudinal axis, dance classes and public spaces are situated around. Daylight spreads inside through that axis. This solution lets in more reﬂected daylight and reduce need of direct sunlight. Upper story of the both buildings is ‘’crumbled’’ – it creates separated terraces for the rest. And it is also a perfect place to collect the sun

Construction Our building refer to quondam constructions. The bearing construction is left reinforced concrete, in which we create a new closed ‘shell’ with inside accomodation and second – outside façade. Outside façade becomes totally separate part in a performance building and just a part of it in the other. In addition to this, between two facades is left air gap for a ventilation. The building ‘shell’ consists of structural materials and ﬁnishes that enclose space, separating the outside environment from the inside. This includes walls, windows, doors, roofs, and ﬂoor surfaces. The second façade, which get all the direct sun ,contain about 70 % sunlight to the other constructions.

CULTURAL CENTRE

CULTURAL CENTRE AND ART GALLERY / regeneration project of Vilnius oldtown, Lithuania 6 semester of Bachelor studies, in collaboration with A.Navidauskas January - May 2009

Multifunctional cultural centre and separate art gallery take place in a unique site in the oldtown of Vilnius, in intersection between Uzupis district and the valley of river Vilnele. Seeking for recreation of this territory there are planned some signiﬁcant alteraction considering visual identity of Vilnius city: preserving city urban layouts, value volumes and forms compositions of heritage buildings or other visual characteristics. While treating this territory as a part of the city, it is transforming by nowadays needs, public spaces and areas for the leisure activities. As a part of it is distinguished separate spaces: central area of the site- for the city square. It becomes the main focus of the site where important links are confronting. This square is a mediator between designed objects- cultural centre and art gallery (designed by A.Navidauskas).

For this reason a part of Maironis street is converting as an underground tunnel giving free place overground for unrestricted peoples’ movement. The slope of this territory is shaped as a calm rest zone and dedicated for walking, picnics. Other part of this territoryPond Park is reactivating through building art gallery nearby and giving new activities for this space. Outdoor art sculptures, special gardens, playing ﬁelds, event stages etc. Follow-on the oldtown, cultural centre becomes a junction between old and new area. There are spaces for conferences and teaching inside. Building form is made for peoples’ transition through and needs.

ART WORKS

ACADEMIC YEARS 2006-2010 Parallel with architectural projects each semester was ﬁnished with art works. The tasks included academic drawing and different artistic compositions. We were taught to explore objects, make various compositions with them, play with structures of actual and simulated views. Various tasks were completed combining several techniques. For instance, some research was done with camera before a particular work was accomplished using press, watercolours, ink etc. All works are black&white, size 1000x700mm

instalation optional subject. group work: with E.Blinstrubyte + D.Pulokas. working with ideas about seeing, watching and thinking. existing and contrived views. do we see just what we know? how does the view last in our minds, how we react with existence? we create it. temporary stop near the casual window. corrected view. site plan: view from the art academy window.pedestrian bridge crossing river Vilnelė. in the picture we can see the river in the both sides near the bridge.but -not sure is it the same river? in/out sides: for the outside we used real water to enhance the idea of connection.one section of the bridge had a temporary water gate. materials: 1. visual connection of two parts of the river. 2 two pieces of glass used, folded like a sculpture on a pedestal with a speciﬁc angle.

bias: connection from the view of the first floor of the building didn’t coincide with the ground floor view.water was running on the pedestrian walk not back in the river. +++ accidental connections during the work.
