Yup, that would be amazing ;) Do you know any time framework considering the project?

Don't remember correctly but it should be built pretty quick. 2012-2013 maybe? ;)

Pasodinkime nuolat kintantį ir tuo pačiu amžinai gyvą paminklą-parką. Gal tai beržynas,gal vardiniai ąžuolai. Taip,tam reikia laiko. Turėjome progą prieš dvidešimt metų,pasirodo laikas bėga greitai. Nevėlu ir dabar.Medis auga,bręsta ir tvirtėja kartu su Mūsų sąmone,tikėjimu ir viltimi. Medžiai sodinami pagal naujausias

"Vilnius Arch-studio" is just a private Arch-bureau, one of many in Vilnius.

Vilnius office of Lithuanian Architects Union is the "governing body" of urban development in Vilnius.

New office project in Vilnius is starting. At NCC, Constitution avenue three office buildings (43 thousand meters of office space) will be built by Norwegian company „Schage Real Estate”. It will cost about 220 mln. LTL (About 64 mln. EUR). Construction will start next year.

How many floors will it have? I counted about 20f, but im not so sure for exact.

According to the project, the tallest building will have 20 floors ;)

Also it was mentioned, that one of those 3 buildings will have a hotel, so it won't really be only an office building :)

Also all further discussions about this project should be in this thread:

Bonjour everyone Francis here

There is one of the most controversial architectural competition of the decade which is held at Nida, Curonian Spit.

HERE (http://www.architektusajunga.lt/naujienos/agila-konkursas-nidoje)

Nida is a heart of Lithuanian identity, people are very touchy about this place when it comes to building a new symbol to replace the old Soviet structure. This is a very high-profile competition and there are whopping 28 participants submitted their work.

On the page above and a couple of other arch websites where people discussing about the submitted works. Why this competition is so controversial? It wasn't, as far as most people could tell, until the works were submitted.

The impressive rendering and concept ideas to blow people's mind. The judges will face difficult moment selecting the winners. But based on what? Many of the works did NOT meet the requirements outlined on the competition brief.

the points are roughly as below:

- the design must be unique and original and specific to natural Nida setting.

- the new design must not be hard in form and volume.

- the building cannot extend outside the given site boundary.

- the submission is blindfolded so that the judges won't know whose works they are until the winners have been chosen.

- the building must include ALL the functions listed in the brief and the functions must be the minimum dimensions outlined.

- it is a renovation project therefore the original structure need to be retained to certain extent rather than demolishing the existing structure completely.


As you can download and view the proposals that many offices utterly failed to meet the requirements.

Some offices utterly failed to meet the most fundamental point of being unique and original but shamelessly copied recently published designs by other big names in other parts of the world. That is discussed on the official site mentioned above and also HERE (http://pilotas.lt/index.php/lt/architektura/item/1587-%E2%80%9Eagila%E2%80%9C-ir-28-projektai/nidos-kult%C5%ABros-centro-konkursas-fini%C5%A1uoja?&sco=1&)

So, those offices who copied or heavily borrowed other projects will be failed. Whether it was on the rule book or not plagiarism should not be tolerated especially it will be an icon of a nationally and internationally recognised symbolic location of Lithuania. Shame on you thieves!!

I can spot one or two proposals are outside the boundary whether they call the extended part an element of landscaping and if that excuse is acceptable. Probably they are failed.

A few offices happily removed the existing structure completely and put a new building on the site. Based on the rules outlined on the brief they will also be failed.

Also from the now very hot discussion someone pointed out that some offices "forgot" to remove the file data that contains their office names or easily identifiable nicknames, or a staff members' name. According to the rules they will be failed.

If, for whatever reasons, those violators of the strict competition rules will be selected as a winner other participants have three days to submit an official statement pointing out the items I mentioned above to counter the decisions made by the judges.

So what are your opinions??

Salut Francis

Hello people

There are official "favourites" published on the website of the architectural authorityy of Lithuania. The translated page is here (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=www.architektusajunga.lt%2Fnaujienos%2Fagila-konkursas-nidoje&act=url)

To everyone's surprise the panels did not drop those people who did not stick to the rules of the competition however removed four proposals for not complying with a rule which is rather strange. Those removed happened to have forgotten their digital id or incorrectly labelled their names on the PDF files thus revealing their ID for this blindfolded competition. Other people who were NOT removed from this competitions failed to meet a variety of rules set by the brief so the big discussions continue.

Apart from completely demolishing the existing structures and placing a new building or two on the site (this was clearly a competition for a renovation proposal) the most favourite (their score system is bizarre, the smaller the number the more favoured) is guaranteed to stir the emotions of the German tourists who colonise the town of Nida every summer. One comment I saw on this site (http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=pilotas.lt%2Findex.php%2Flt%2Fpulsas%2Fitem%2F1631-renkamas-%E2%80%9Eagilos%22-projektas%2F%C4%AFvyko-%E2%80%9Eagilos%22-darb%C5%B3-vie%C5%A1as-aptarimas&act=url) had links to a building in Berlin, more specifically Tränenpalast at Friedrichstrasse S-Bahn station. The proposal resembles very much of the Tränenpalast building, whether the designer knew or thought about it. Whether this design will stay as the most favourite of all proposals it will be very upsetting to the vast majority of the German tourists who flock to this part of the world which used to belong to them.

The rest of the preferred proposals are ordered by how Soviet they look the better. The Soviet brutalism, cubism and expo designs from the 1960s were still the panels' preferred forms and volumes and they commented very "unique and original". Other more contemporary designs were heavily borrowed from building designs of 2008 Zaragoza expo.

I now can see most people are unhappy with the competition organisation of the competition itself rather than particular proposals. It's now assumed that the whole things is a sham. What do you think??

Francis : )

I wouldn't say its a sham, obviously there are going to be those who are disappointed, although I'll admit some of the criteria where a bit weird.

Here are the top 3 for the time being, we'll see what the final decision is.

Hi there! What story was this?

Hi there! What story was this?

Google suggested me, that this was a story how 1/6 of Lithuania emigrated abroad, 17% unemployment and how the country is severely hit by crisis for some 20 years. :lol: :)

Yeah in our mindes :bash:

Yeah in our mindes :bash:

Why? I don't have such minds, do You? :)

Most people does, sadly :(

But this competition clearly shows that the senior old farts of the Lithuanian architects union seem to be deeply but comfortably stuck in the 1960s - the peak of the Soviet Union architecture. The young creative people have left the country and the students who currently study architecture are kind of lost.
