VIKTORIJA GAILIŪTĖ SELECTED PROJECTS

CV VIKTORIJA GAILIUTE I was born on July 23rd, 1987 in Kaunas, Lithuania.

I have been living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands for the past 4 years, where I graduated from TU Delft acquiring Masters degree in Urbanism.

My field of interest in architecture/urban design domain ranges from strategies for sustainable urban regeneration and viable public spaces, to smart energy and resources management in small as well as large scale areas. I am also interested in learning and applying tools and strategies to sustain healthy communities through social mix, affordable and diverse housing, employment and local empowerment.

I believe that good ideas have to be spread, therefore I share my insights about urban life, culture and innovations in a blog UrbanusVulgaris.

FISHERMEN’S HOUSE GUEST HOUSE Call for ideas for guest house in Klaipeda old town Place: Klaipeda, Lithuania

Participated with: M.Marozas (MMAP) Phase: competition 2014 July

The project location is one of the most visible of the old town of Klaipeda, where any building (regardless of its architectural quality) itself becomes a landmark. Pleasant river bank makes this place unique point of wanting to explore Klaipeda from the best side, and guest house in this location is a rational and logical choice.

The project site has strict regulations, water level is high and the construction of the Old Town is often tight, yet the programme of the competition foresees maximum use of the plot. Thus at this point, in particular, maximum concentration of the program and the urban and architectural quality of the building can diverge radically.

However, the “Fisherman’s House offers an alternative solution using the principle of ”less is more“ rather than putting efforts to radically exploit the site - proposes to highlight the quality and unique features of the site with focus on building’s flexibility and adaptability to different functions.

WETTEREN SOCIAL HOUSING Winning entry for social housing competition Place: Serskamp, Wichelen, Belgium Project of: JDWA

Personal contribution in research and design Phase: definitive design 2014 January - March

Project site lies in the middle of a small village Serskamp in Belgium, owned by the social housing corporation. Competition entries were expected to design 15 apartments in a relatively small plot. Though it is possible, it would mean building up quite a lot of surface and loosing open space in already small plot.

This project proposes to build less, but with higher quality: instead of filling the site with apartment block, it is oriented to create a synergy between the new programme and existing context.

New programme contains two parts: apartment building and row houses. Apartment building continues street perimeter and quietly blends in the context, while individual dwellings occupy the back yard creating hidden public space.

POLLAREWIJK SOCIAL HOUSING NEIGHBOURHOOD Winning entry for social housing renewal competition Place: Ninove, Belgium Project of: JDWA

Personal contribution in research and design Phase: definitive design

2013 November - 2013 December The social housing neighbourhood was planned as affordable housing and dates back to 1930s. The original plan foresaw uniform housing in large green plots divided to smaller blocks.

Due to strict masterplan regulations, original concept did not change to great extent - the green image of the neighbourhood can be felt and appreciated despite its lack of maintenance.

However physical condition of the majority of the buildings are quite poor. Although part of the houses had their exterior renewed 10 years ago, this proved to be inefficient and didn’t increase the quality of the whole neighbourhood. In order to sustain liveable and attractive neighbourhood, different approach was needed.

This project proposes three-fold renovation strategy: 1. Improve social mix by offering diverse typologies 2. Redevelop public space simultaneusly to housing 3. Implement in phases to keep existing residents in the neighbourhood.

GREATER KAUNAS IN PURSUIT OF COHERENCE REGIONAL SPATIAL STRATEGY MASTER THESIS Graduation project: regional spatial strategy Place: Kaunas region, Lithuaina Project of: TU Delft Personal project

Phase: academic research, planning and design 2012 September - 2013 June

This master thesis is a research, planning and design project in the academic field of urbanism. Research is centred on Kaunas as a secondary city region in the post-socialist country.

The main interest of this project is feasible future scenario for urban growth in the region with the growing economic wealth, but negative demographic trends that would facilitate more cohesive and sustainable development patterns.

Further graduation work consist of research on possible future scenarios in the region through analysis of the five study cases that are selected through an analysis of the local potentials, conflicts and chances of transformation in the existing variety of urban-rural environments. The result of research is expressed through strategic guidelines for regional development.

Proposed development guidelines are applied to the study cases in order to investigate the actual potential of the proposed strategy. Design for one study case, namely Karmelava airport town is carried out in detail to show possible and desirable outcomes of the strategic planning and to illustrate the effect of the governance of such project.

TAILORING STRATEGY TO LOCAL POTENTIALS: KARMELAVA NODE TOWN CASE

RECOGNISING MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIC GOALS ALLOWS DEVELOPING SETTLEMENTS BASED ON LOCAL POTENTIALS INSTEAD OF APPLYING GENERAL RULE “ONE FITS ALL”.

Kaunas international airport Kaunas biggest cemetery Local potentials: High nature and recreational areas potential Good public transport accessibility to city Existing range of services Airport expansion plans with new programme Actors in town: Kaunas district municipality Karmelava’s parish Airport School and kindergarten communities Local businesses and community

Active main street

Needed by-pass is a threat at the same time

Large but inaccessible green structure

Plenty of new programme, yet not integrated

Chances of transformation: Possible downgrading of main street due to new by-pass. This allows revitalizing public space, and strengthening town’s centrality River valley for recreation and nature park Vacant land in town to host new airport related business Conflicts: National road A4 acts as a boundary Main street pedestrian and bicycles unfriendly Multiple ownership of public space Major employment places outside of town Town’s exclusion from airport activity

26

WHAT:

FROM STRATEGY TO DESIGN: AIRPORT TOWN AS A REGIONAL NODE

STRONG PUBLIC BACKBONE Main street is downgraded to create space for pedestrians and cyclists. Existing pocket spaces along the road are converted to network of public squares. New public squares are easily recognisable and become attractive gathering places for local inhabitants. Central part of the town is strengthened with new public functions and the main entrance to the opened city forest park.

PUBLIC -PRIVATE COOPERATION Under-used area between town centre and the airport terminal is developed to fit new offices and businesses. Road connecting these two areas is narrowed in order to provide space for local entrepreneurs. Attractive public squares along downgraded main road encourages residents to start small businesses and new small scale commercial activities concentrate around these squares.

LANDSCAPE AS CARRYING STRUCTURE River valley forest is opened to the public and connected to the adjoining public squares. This way new city forest park is created that offers high quality natural area within the city. New residential development takes place in vacant and poorly used areas around this park.

27

Concentration on public space improvement, public-private cooperation and creation of new workplaces can transform town from current satellite town state to compact airport city.

Vacant land in the centre is transformed to public park, surrounded by new housing. Since it is largely municipal owned property, profit from new development used to renovate school and build new kindergarten.

TREE-TOP WALK RECREATIONAL ROUTE Call for ideas for recreational route with observation tower in national park, 3rd place Place: Anyksciai, Lithuania

Participated with: M.Marozas (MMAP)

Personal contribution in research and design Phase: competition 2012 August

Competition task was to design a recreational route among tree-tops that would bring the best aspects of the natural and beautiful surrounding national park at the same time sensitively reacting to the adjacency of national monument - Punktukas stone.

Since this monument is a sacred symbol to the society, the route had to blend in quietly

to the surroundings drawing

attention to the panoramic views instead of the constructions.

Proposed solution does exactly what was expected: path starts at the edge of the forest slowly rising to the hill where it reaches observation tower. The latter rises up to 40m and provides visitors with an opportunity to observe the nature from the birdeye view.

30

31

Info centre - introduction to tree-top walk. It holds everything visitor could need, yet does not overwhelm the environment. Building is compact, holding all necessary services to operate in winter, whereas during the summer some spaces (e.g. cafe or classroom) can expand outside.

Recreational route consists of four main elements: info centre, tree-top path, triangle with diverse activities and playgrounds, observation tower and footpath in the forest bed leading to the monument stone

32

OBSERVATION TOWER IS DESIGNED TO BE PART OF THE FOREST, NOT TO DOMINATE IN IT. IT’S METAL TRUSS CONSTRUCTION IS LIGHT AND ALMOST TRANSPARENT. FOREST PANORAMA CAN BE EXPLORED FROM ALL SIDES OF THE TOWER, WHEREAS TERRACE ON TOP OPENS UP VIEW TO HOLLY VALLEY.

33

PLAN WITH BENEFITS ENERGY AND FOOD PRODUCTION PARK WITH SERVICE HUB Academic project: spatial strategy for global metropolis Place: Haarlemmermeer, the Netherlands Project of: TU Delft Personal project

Phase: academic project 2012 February - April

Bill Gates’ speech „Innovating to zero” (Ted conference, 2010) encourages society to minimize negative impacts on environment by eliminating CO2 emission from energy production.

Avarage person in Haarlemmermeer uses over 750 Wh every hour. It is equal 12 light bulbs, lit every hour. However, only 1 out of these 12 light bulbs is lit using renewable energy. One of the main aims for this project - to flip this number upside down.

Energy Park project allows whole Haarlemmermeer to become energy independent by using renewable energy resources and by implementing 4 simple steps (produce with no CO2, reduce emissions, invest in efficiency and educate).

Service Hub is the critical point in zero-emission target as it gathers and redistributes energy and food production to the region. This hub also includes information and education centres with bicycle rent, farmers market, educational food production fields with restaurant, bio-mas plant and farm with leisure facilities, that all are connected by mutual path.

Gathering all production in one place allows Park to work more effectively and concentrated activities and functions in the Service Hub allows residents to benefit from the Park in multiple ways.

34

35

Area for Energy Park is chosen in between two biggest cities in Haarlemmermeer: Hoofddorp and Nieuw Vennep. This location allows

Information & bus stop

Education facilities

use Park in multiple ways - as an energy production place as well as an extended green recreation zone for the residents.

Service Hub area connects energy and food production and redistribution and it serves as the main information point for the Park visitors. Six thematic areas in the hub are connected by path that allows visitors to experience different energy related topics: production, collection, distribution and exchange 36

EDUCATION CENTRE IS THE MAIN MEETING POINT FOR THE MEMBERS OF ENERGY PARK COMMUNITY. THE FOOD PRODUCTION AROUND THIS CENTRE IS PATCHWORK OF DIFFERENT CROPS - A LABORATORY OF AGRICULTURE IN HAARLEMMERMEER.

Building reference in a collage of 1024 Architecture

37

38

MARKET IS THE MAIN RETAIL POINT OF THE ENERGY PARK, WHERE GOODS PRODUCED IN HAARLEMMERMEER ARE SOLD. MARKET IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE

BY PRIVATE AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND WORKS AS A PLATFORM FOR VARIOUS EVENTS. THIS SPOT ENSURES THAT DAILY EXPLOITATION OF THE AREA DOES NOT END WITH A SUNSET.

39

40

THE GLASSHOUSE WITH RESTAURANT IS THE CENTREPIECE OF THIS AREA, WHERE FOOD PRODUCTIONS SPANS THROUGH THE ENTIRE YEAR. BESIDES SERVING VISITORS TO SHOW POTENTIALS OF ENERGY AND FOOD PRODUCTION, ENERGY HUB KEEPS IN MIND THAT VARIOUS ACTIVITIES IS WHAT MAKES THE AREA ATTRACTIVE TO PEOPLE. THEREFORE SPORT AND RECREATION FACILITIES IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE AREA.
