"Together we are stronger": "The Fabric of Wooden Urban Architecture"

"The Fabric of Wooden Urban Architecture"

Lecture series "Žaliakalnis Wooden Houses: The Role of the Community in Preserving Local Heritage"

Žaliakalnis wooden houses are more than just individual buildings. They create a unique urban face, community identity, and a special connection with the environment.

We invite you to architect Živilė Šimkutė's lecture "The Fabric of Wooden Urban Architecture," dedicated to looking at wooden architecture as an inseparable part of the city's urban structure.

The lecture will cover: how wooden houses shape the character of Žaliakalnis; the interconnection between streets, courtyards, greenery, and buildings; why it is important to preserve not only individual objects but the entire historical environment; good examples of wooden heritage preservation in Lithuania and abroad.

During the discussion, we will talk about how the community can contribute to sensitive and sustainable urban renewal while maintaining the spirit of the place and historical uniqueness.
