t

The following is an abbreviation

of my years of study in Vilnius

and a brief period of employem-

ent practice. Four academic pro-

jects are followed by two which

were designed with my coop-

eration as architect assistant.

These projects best repre-

sent my personality as archi-

tect. I hope this portfolio is only

a beginning of what I always

wanted to be: a professional.

1URBAN MODERNISATION OF CIT-IES MAIN STREETS (THE CASE OF J. JASINSKIO STR. IN VILNIUS).2011

Street concept is the main is-

sue of master thesis . The prin-

cipal goal is the determination

of fundamental subjects for

street functioning, the nature of

mobility and movement in the

street, the relation between the

framework and the experian-

tal perception of street space.

Understanding the concept of a

street suppose the evaluation of it

as a public space. Thesis issues

with a street implication to mod-

ern society minding cultural, eco-

nomical and political aspects of a

street as an institution, not a form.

The concept of urban modernisa-

tion of J. Jasinskio street in Vilnius

is based on the analysis of street

form, context and content. It cov-

ers the developement of commu-

nication systems, public space

improvement, situating car park

in the central area of a city. Par-

ticular interest was taken into

the qualitative improvement of

local urban structure and the

harmonisation of street space.

2DETAILED PLAN OF QUARTER BE-TWEEN ŠVITRIGAILOS, NAUGAR-DUKO, VYTENIO AND T. ŠEVČENKOS STREETS IN VILNIUS

2009

Setting out a strategy for a pub-

lic realm in Vilnius New Town

is the main issue of bachelor

thesis. Accordong to author,

a new public infrastructure

could lead the regeneration of

Vilnius New Town, creating a

strong framework for any po-

tential future developements.

Consistent approach to the issue

includes identifying street hierar-

chy and promoting a pedestrian-

led public realm while embedding

new public spaces in the existing

chaotic urban structure. In addi-

tion to this, the measure of the city

block is one of the angular start

points to urban regeneration de-

veleopement. Each block is taken

into concideration and undersized

to short time walkable distance.

Territory regeneration encom-

passes building intensity and

density increase in Vilnius New

Town, raising the heights thus

forming local composite domi-

nants and visual relations. In

addition to this, it includes a

purification of city centre func-

tions and vertical zoning.

3ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPEMENT AND MODERNISATION OF CITY'S MAIN STREETS. RECONSTRUCTION POTENTIAL OF LIUBARTAS BRIDGE APPROACH AND ADJACENCY.2009

Vilnius is a rapidly growing city.

As Lithuania became a member

of the European Union in 2004,

a vast extent foreign investments

and local enterprise became a

reasonable condition to further

trade and business develop-

ments in Lithuania thus in Vilnius.

As new trade and shopping dis-

tricts became a fast evolving

reality in the capital of Lithuania,

unprecedented urban and so-

cial issues took its entity. Cha-

otic urban structure and poor

architectural quality in Vilnius city

centre became no longer suf-

ficient to frame new architectural

and urban lanscape develope-

ments and, moreover, compare

itself with new western neighbour

countries. Elaboration of public

spaces, improvement of living,

working and movement condi-

tions within a city centre was

and is one of the relevant top-

ics regarding city development.

Presented project reveals J. Ja-

sinskio street potential to become

a modern thoroughfare as well

as pedestrian path and public

space as it approaches river

Neris with its abandoned shores.
