Tradition of Green Architecture in Lithuania. Is it Possible to Continue it?

Urban Farm DB summary

A conceptual paper positioning the Lithuanian tradition of green architecture as both a perception of landscape identity and of human-nature coexistence, treated as a field of cultural activity that extends beyond urban planners, architects, or landscape architects. It examines the urban expression of green architecture in Lithuanian cities, identifying two branches with different origins running from urban agriculture to city landscape. The paper argues that future development of green architecture should be tied to the concept of a self-sufficient city that ensures renewal of both artificial and natural structures, and that Lithuanian cities need to grow the intensity of green structures in parallel with urban intensity.
