A C A D E M I C W O R K Architecture in Misf i t Environments: Gardens of ForgivenessThis project works with a post-traumatic area of Beirut, which has an archaeological opening creat-ed during bombings of ’64 and ’73. The concept of how to revive the site and patch up the city is to super-impose different structures with different functions on top of each other. By using this method we can re-flect 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 mid-dle layer is an interpretation of the passed historic structures. The top layer is a completely new light-weight 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 it-self 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).

A C A D E M I C W O R K Media Center Media Center in Vilnius is designed around extremely in-

tense 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 build-ing ends and where the landscape begins.

A C A D E M I C W O R K Gal lery_01 in Vi ln iusGallery_01 is an extention of an already existing architectural enseble in Tymas quarter. The vol-ume consists of 3 stages which can be read from right to left. First there is the complete im-itation phase, where the gallery comes in contact with its neighbour, then there is a distort-ed contemporary version where the gallery becomes l ight 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 seg-ments (fig.4). Some of the segments are filled with translucent elements (fig.2), thus creating a semi transparent and semi translucent pattern (fig.1)

W O R K S H O P W O R K From Landscape to Roofscape: CROSS WAVESOpposed to Landscape, a Roofscape is constructed from autonomous e lements . In a Roofscape cont inuity evolves through the coherence and agreement of i ts parts . Here we encounter one of the bas ic problem-sets in architecture: A lbert i ’s Part-to-Whole-Relat ion. In Albert i ’s t reat ise the Whole is wr i tten through the Ro-man term c iv i tas which descr ibes a pol i t ica l form of coexistence, a f rag i le ent i ty, a ground in the making.

Consequent ia l ly, the goal of a parametr ic conf igurat ion shi f ts f rom dia lect ics towards an act ive drawing of agencies . From a descr ipt ive device (e .g . the goal for convenient or ientat ion or c l imat ic d i fferent iat ion) , towards a const i tut ion that provides growing benef i ts to and between i ts e lements .

From landscape to roofscape /// Aesthet ics of decay /// The f igure and i ts f igurat ion

Aesthetics of Decay work-shop held in AHO was meant to give a better understand-ing about how destructive processes change architec-ture and if there are any benefits (or so to say - aes-thetics) 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 graf-fiti). These marks on the exterior become a shell of their own, which has a vari-able tranparency, once the transparency reaches zero percent, the architecture benieth cannot be perceived and all that’s left is decay it-self. 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“.

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.
