Summary / Abstract:

ENLithuania has a long tradition of using wooden architecture. Wooden structures have, however, started to decline in number, not only because of new materials and technologies, but also due to Soviet legacies. Bearing in mind the current importance of sustainability and resilience, the authors discuss why contemporary wooden architecture thrives in some countries of the Baltic/Nordic region, especially in Finland, while it continues to be marginalized in Lithuania. The authors suggest that this is due to the lack of an integral understanding of wooden architecture in Lithuania’s society and state institutions. Advances in architectural phenomenology as well as the demands of sustainability might change the status quo in Lithuania. Keywords: architecture, wooden architecture, glued wood, residential buildings, Lithuania, Finland. [From the publication]
