LITHUANIAN WOODEN ARCHITECTURE The project started with my interest in the ethnographic heritage of Lithuania, particularly in local crafts- wooden architecture and arts. Geographical position and abundance of forests have determined the spread of wood as the main building material. Therefore, Lithuania holds a rich collection of wooden ware and reminiscences of wooden architecture with the outstanding artistic ornamentation. Visual language illustrates the cultural heritage of the place, where the common intuitive character was to express the close relation to the natural environment. The ornaments were blurring the borders between the inside and outside, which was the prime local desire. The cult of nature was always an identity feature in arts.
