Young and creative architectural office is formed by former OMA architects.

In this young creative office i developed my leadership and organizational skills as i was positioned as the project leader for most of the projects i participated in.

09/2011 Denekamp museum project, Dinkelland/ Denekamp, Netherlands [NL] With SeARCH Architects i developed my skills and overall knowledge to a more insightful level. I was exposed to and learnt from Dutch design principles and strategies in residential design, urban planning, conceptual schemes, material analysis, sustainability research and product design.

I managed drawings for Geert Groote college extension, headed the design for weaving factory in Bahrein, participated fully in Grevelingen information centre competition, involved fully in University of Gent competition.

Also did a part of design and built a stool of faith series from SeARCH. I developed lessons and architectural skills from the first design approach to identifying and analysing complex urban structures for Amsterdam food centre.

He asked me to do some interior projects mostly for individual houses and to work on some competitions. Also to be a consultant of materials, colours and furniture.

I managed drawings, images for various housing projects. Real experience in building, designing, project realisation, choosing materials helped me to understand more the practical work of an architect.

05-10/2010 VMX ARCHITECTS: ARCHITECTURAL INTERNSHIP www.vmxarchitects.nl Amsterdam, Netherlands 05-06/2010 Ithaka housing project, Almere, Netherlands [NL] 07/2010 School Max Havela competition, Hoogvliet, Netherlands [NL] - 1st prize 08/2010 Friesland Campina competition, Wageningen , Netherlands [NL] - 2nd prize 07-09/2010 MF Aalreep school project, Hoogvliet, Netherlands [NL] 07/2010 Combiwerk project, Delft, Netherlands [NL] 05/2010 H&M House, Amstelveen, Netherlands [NL] With VMX architects in Amsterdam i made my first step to international competitions and real-time responsability for any task. Here i learnt not to struggle and make work approach and design decisions quickly and deliberately. Here i cought a huge interest in a matter of design.

I carried out most aspects of the Combiwerk Delft project from the design phase to drawings, physical model, 3d model and schemes. Participated fully in competition of Praktijkschool Max Havela in Hoogvliet. I’ve seen construction sites of ongoing projects, which gave me more practical knowledge.

I built final and working models during my time at VMX as well as final presentation packages, elevations, renderings and conceptual schemes.

The building itself has caused many conflicts over different parties within civic society of Lithuania. To save or to demolish?

Cinema

Park

All the protests and initiatives organized by public society were directly oriented to the loss of public space next to the building.

The existing building neglects urban context.

The proposed design encompasses cultural and urban contexts. Cultural: the design suggests to save the famous public space.

SCALE Very Large TYPOLOGY City, urban grid, urban blocks, public space TASKS To research alternative ways of handling postfinancial crisis through means of urban policy making, architecture and politics. Invent new planning paradigms and methods.

DESCRIPTION This master thesis is a research, planning and design project in the academic field of urbanism. Research is focused on the urban development transition from socialist city to post-socialist city taking Vilnius as the case study. The main interest of this project is transformation of existing spatial planning system implementation using disused soviet modernism heritage structures as a subject to test the proposed system of spatial planning. With established awareness on this larger task at hand, focus is also brought on transitioning identity of VIlnius.

The objectives of this thesis are to identify the relationship between finance, politics and spatial planning in the case study of post-socialist city: Vilnius. To analyze corresponding relationships, analysis of the context is carried out while zooming in throughout different scales: Lithuania, Vilnius, neighbourhood of Newtown and cinema of Lithuania. This method is chosen in order to understand connected systematic problematics. Another important stage is to research how finances take part in urban development processes. Challenge is taken to identify and find ways to employ planning policies, which are of essential importance in urban development projects.

TASKS The design brief required to design a 400m2 school for children with disabilities inluding architectural, interior and landscape designs.

PERSONAL CONTRIBUTION Concept design, 3D modelng, rendering, schemes, drawings DESCRIPTION The site of pavilion is ‘hiding’ in the corner of the park, with three sides currently stay as dead ends. To better connect the site with the garden, an external loop is proposed, to allow public to go through the site, making the park experience continuous.

The external loop creates different experiences and relationships to the pavilion, integrating the public and the pavilion users. A front garden in the south of the site is proposed for outdoor activities. Defined by the canopy from the cantilevered first floor, the area is protected from the intensive summer sun and heavy rain fall.

TASKS Propose a future scenario for the city of Den Helder.

DESCRIPTION Den Helder Free Energy Island is an utopian ideal, where energy is superfluous; in fact so abundant that meters are obsolete. The island region functions as an energy generator and thrives from its own product with minimal impact upon the planet it inhabits. Algaculture is the fundamental energy source, where a matrix of algae reactors is the starting point of urban synergy.

Den Helder Island: insertion of technologies within an ecology; ecology is environmental, social and economic; The process flows are cyclical and synergistic. Free Energy Island mitigates the imbalances between ecology and urbanity, and exemplifies an environment where nature and the human machine can function productively and in harmony with one another.

TYPE Architectural design, Interior design

SCALE Medium, 2600 m2 TYPOLOGY Free-standing on river of Ij. TASKS I was asked to make a full 3D model of the project and to make it’s representational renderings, also some parts of interior design.

PERSONAL CONTRIBUTION I was involved mainly in SD stage of the project: CAD drafting, 3D Modelling, presentation drawings, rendering.

DESCRIPTION Situated at the widest point of the IJ at the junction of waterways: North Sea, Marken, Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, North Holland Canal and the Standing Mast Route, the new Amsterdam Marina is an excellent base for trips to the North Sea, the IJsselmeer and to the city. Located centrally within the marina on a wooden pier, the new Marina Building works as an extension of the existing wharf.

A wooden perimeter loggia construction creates an open feel while providing a sheltered outdoor space and transition area between the building and harbor. The public end of the building features large glass windows providing expansive panoramic views across the IJ to Amsterdam’s historic heart.

The wooden terrace and boardwalk take their cue from the existing piers and in combination with white mineral stucco walls, the building emanates transparency and a natural, warm atmosphere. Construction is on schedule for completion by summer of 2013 while the new marina

SCALE Large, 162.000 m2 TYPOLOGY Urban blocks, free-standing, regular perimetric TASKS To revitalize derelict territory in Vilnius Old town border.

DESCRIPTION The work strategy refers to intervention between old and new. What to save as historically valuable and what to intervene? Multilayer urban design involved in: forming visual identity, recreating linear building type, creating mixed use urban block system, infrastructural tourism attraction points, clear street and public space network, vertical dominant inbetween connection.

The main objectives of thesis were: to create a spatial link between Vilnius old town and territory of Rasos, to form new attraction points of territory by urban regeneration and convertion. Analysis of historic growth and poor present urban conditions resulted in further urban concept, which includes territory’s infrastructural issues, mixed use, newly obtained connections of territory, development of public spaces.

SCALE Medium, 4.200 m2 TYPOLOGY Free-standing surrounded by nature TASKS To design primary school for 288 school children (12classes) with a given site.

DESCRIPTION The site is full of valuable nature elements, situated on a hill, surrounded by lakes and forests. Children primary school has to be open from inside for the children with architecture that let’s communication to spread.

The spatial design was based by classical modular grid system and rules of composition. School spatially opens to forests, lakes and relief creating relaxing inside atmosphere.

Children classrooms are orientated to eastern sun. Roof skylights are situated just above them. Little volumetric balconies open views to the nature and allow eye communication. 2 inner gardens are for outdoor sports and vegetation. 7 meter modular column grid is used for the plan structure thus forming rooms and classrooms. Facade material polycarbonate gives maximum sun light to the school.

SCALE Medium, 950 m2 TYPOLOGY Free-standing surrounded house villas TASKS To design a specific funtion office/studio with a given site.

DESCRIPTION The project was awarded by an honorary scholarship of Arnas Dineika. Photo-video studio got most of the architect jury votes.

The site situates just on the border of old town with good connection to the city. The location and relief open panorama views to the city itself. Surrounded by railway, industrial atmosphere and low density housing despite it’s pros it is being used as a car parking lot.

The studio focuses on creating a continuity of endless perspective. Long cantilever of 25 meters, a solid volume and a huge long inside void give that feeling. Seamless interior spaces are used for exhibitions, installations, performances. The steel structure of the building also become part of interior. The end of cantiliver becomes the culmination, where the panorama views open and video

GOAL The installation thrives to rethink the public transportation system in Vilnius.

Metro logo + articles

DESCRIPTION A concept of physical heterotopian underground space, where Vilnius municipalities urban planning system is rethought and criticized.

The principle of conflicting coexistence and interaction of arts is explored to rethink the nature of imaginative and real.

The moment you enter university real sounds of metro invite you to virtual metro stop. Here in faculty’s’ cellar long years lasting utopian plans to establish cafeteria intervene with another even more utopian idea - Vilnius metro. The entrance is full of Vilnius metro articles published by journals, newsletters and internet making you rethink the price, necessity and changes after building a system of metro in the city of Vilnius.

Walking into abandoned and unused cellar to see a fake metro-stop and listen to real metro sounds makes one feel confused.
