    2010 = 1990 + 20 years of independent architecture

Reestablishing independence in Lithuania in 1990 gave a start for significant geopolitical changes in the region. FREEDOM gained at the time has found its shape in ARCHITECTURE.

This series of lectures suggests looking at the environment of architecture liberated two decades ago at different angles: what actually happened after such a hard turn of values westwards? How the evolution of Lithuanian architecture is different and how it is similar as compared to the experiences of its neighboring Baltic States? Is the inertia of the past still relevant? What kind acceleration has been acquired during all those years of freedom that forces architecture to move towards the future? Architects, architecture critics, historians and theorists will share their insights about the process that started two decades ago.

Talks will take place at the National Art Gallery (NDG), Konstitucijos pr. 22, Vilnius.

The talks will start at 8.00 p.m. and will be held in English or in Lithuanian.

The entrance is free of charge.
