Download or read book Lithuanian Architecture and Urbanism written by Almantas Samalavičius and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together essays focused on Lithuania’s architectural and urban legacy, as well as recent developments since 1990, when the country said a firm farewell to the era of dependence and the Soviet communist regime. Nevertheless, as the book argues, the legacy of the past still dominates due to an uncritical adoption of Modernist dogmas in architecture and urban design by architects and urban designers during the last two decades of Soviet colonization. It offers a critical overview of urban developments during the last three decades which were marked by the emergence of private capital, the market economy and the growth of the real estate sector. The rapid expansion of the building industry brought new challenges to architects and urban designers, and more often than not they fell prey to the new ideology of economism, commodification and commercialism. These developments are reflected in the urban tissue and aesthetics, as well as in the present shape of urban public spaces, in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius and other large cities. The book will be useful to architectural and cultural historians, as well as to critics interested in current developments and historical trends in eastern Europe and Baltic urban and architectural developments.

Excerpt: Neo-Byzantine architecture in the Russian Empire emerged in the 1850s and became an officially endorsed preferred architectural style for church construction during the reign of Alexander II of Russia (1855-1881), replacing the Russo-Byzantine style of Konstantin Thon. Although Alexander III changed state preferences in favor of late Russian Revival, neo-Byzantine architecture flourished during his reign (1881-1894) and continued to be used until the outbreak of World War I.

Download or read book Site Symbol and Cultural Landscape written by Almantas Samalavičius and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the relationship between sites, architectural symbols and cultural landscapes, and discusses a variety of issues related to the central themes of the book, providing insights into the history, as well as the present development, of cultural landscapes. Contributors to this book—architects, architectural historians and theorists—reconsider the notion of genius loci and its importance in shaping historical landscapes in the eastern part of Europe.

Transcending local realities, and providing insights into the making and destruction of cultural landscapes, the book will be useful to architects and architectural historians, as well as scholars dealing with urban and landscape issues not only in Europe, but also in other parts of the globe.
Download or read book Baltic Modernism written by Marija Dremaite and published by Dom Publishers. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated monograph discusses post-war modernist architecture in Soviet Lithuania which, together with other Baltic republics, has been seen as exceptional, appropriating Western cultural models much faster and with greater passion, and was labelled "the Soviet West." Nevertheless, the matter of identifying the specific architectural traits that distinguished modernism in the Baltic region from that of other Soviet republics is not a simple exercise, and the specifi city of socialist modernism clearly requires a socialpolitical approach. In this book research on Soviet Lithuanian architecture relies on the relationship between official planning discourse and local social practice, and the wide range of historical actors in planning practices.
