Soviet Mass-Housing in Vilnius: Exploring the Consequences of the 1955 Housing Reform and the Rebellion Against Architectural Homogenisation
SOVIET MASS-HOUSING IN VILNIUS: EXPLORING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE 1955 HOUSING REFORM AND THE REBELLION AGAINST ARCHITECTURAL HOMOGENISATION A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MSC DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION Author: Kristina Rimkutė, s0950924 First Reader: Dr. Ruxandra-Iulia Stoica Scottish Centre for Conservation Studies Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Edinburgh College of Art University of Edinburgh 2013-2014 During the Cold War the central logic of peaceful competition pulled these two systems together precisely because they were competing with each other. Competition requires a kind of common ground… like space, like the Olympics or the chess tournament or - as we showed in Cold War Modern [exhibition] - architecture and design.

Rehabilitation and Extension of Water Supply and Sewage Collection Systems in Vilnius (Stages 1 and 2)
Summary sheet of measure No 2000/LT/16/P/PE/001: Measure title Rehabilitation and Extension of Water Supply and Sewage Collection Systems in Vilnius (Stages 1 and 2) Authority responsible for implementation Municipality of Vilnius City, Gedimino av. 9,Vilnius, Lithuania Mayor of Vilnius, Mr Roland Paksas Email [email protected] Final beneficiary SP UAB Vilniaus Vandenys Dominikonu st 11,Vilnius, Lithuania Mr. B. Meizutavicius, Director General E.mail [email protected] Description Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania with a population of 580,000. The main drinking water and sewage networks date from the start of the 20th century and are in need of immediate repair. The expansion of the drinking water supply networks, as well as replacement of the worn out pipelines and the construction of iron removal plants (within separate complementary projects) will contribute to compliance with the EU standards for drinking water by reducing the iron content from 0.25-1.2 to 0.05mg/l. Also, some 99 percent of the Vilnius inhabitants and industries will be connected to the water supply networks. It should be noted that this is the first stage of a long term plan, for which the feasibility work has already been completed, which will result in full compliance with both water quality and waste water Directives. Component 1 Rehabilitation of a total of approximately 80km of water mains in the districts of Antakalnis, Baltupiai, Fabijoniškes, Justiniskes, Kirtimai, Lazdynai, Paneriai, Pasilaiciai, Virsuliskes, Zirmunai and the Old Town by relining of approximately 73 km of pipes ranging from less than 200mm to 1000mm diameter and replacement of some 7kms of pipes are in the utility corridors Component 2 Extension of the water supply and sewerage networks to serve the outlying areas of Gineitiskes, Traku Voke, Tarande, Bajorai, Balsiai, Kairenai, Naujoji Vilnia and Riese. -

Spring water in Vilnius City: chemical composition and quality. Geologija. Vilnius. 2007. No. 60. P. 51–57. ISSN 1392–110X Linas Papievis The marginal moraine areas of continental glaciation are lithologically notable for great variations in surface deposits. If such Quaternary deposits are deeply cut by river valleys and ravines, their slopes and terraces make favourable conditions for groundwater to be exposed and to form springs. Most often such springs are of a falling type, i. e. water streams under the influence of gravitation. In the ancient times people used spring water for drinking and preparation of food, since it was clean and tasty. Such an image of spring water has remained up to the present days, although due to increased pollution of the environment, the water of such springs can be both good and bad. Regardless of this, people bring it to their homes thinking that spring water is of a better quality than that provided by the municipal water supply. Such practice is also widely exercised in Vilnius, where the geomorpho- logical conditions are favourable for springs to be formed. Therefore, Hydrology and Engineering Geol- ogy Department of Vilnius University have analysed the chemical composition of the city spring waters and assessed their quality in respect of the quality of water suitable for drinking. Key words: spring, groundwater, chemical composition, pollution Received 15 May 2007, accepted 05 July 2007 Vytautas Juodkazis, Linas Papievis. -
Lietuvos Respublikos Sostinė, Didžiausias Ir Vienas
GYVENTOJAI Vilnius – Lietuvos Respublikos sostinė, didžiausias ir vienas iš seniausių Lietuvos miestų, įkurtas dviejų upių – Vilnelės ir Neries santakoje, tai šalies administracinis, kultūrinis, politinis, verslo centras. Tai labiausiai ekonomiškai išsivystęs, dinamiškas ir atviras miestas, pasižymintis gerais ryšiais, teikiantis aukšto lygio švietimo ir darbo galimybes, turintis gerėjantį įmonių, inovacijų, gyvenimo kokybės įvaizdį tarptautiniu mastu bei vaidinantis išskirtinį ekonominį, kultūrinį ir informacinį vaidmenį Baltijos regione. Lietuvos statistikos departamento duomenimis, Vilnius jau ne vienerius metus išlaiko augimo tendenciją. 2020 metų pirmoje pusėje, nepaisant prasidėjusios pandemijos ir karantino, dėl kurio sutriko ir ekonominis gyvenimas, sostinei pavyko išlaikyti augimo tendenciją – liepos 1d. gyventojų buvo 0,6% daugiau nei metų pradžioje, o lyginant su 2019 metų liepos 1d. gyventojų prieaugis buvo dar įspūdingesnis – 1,6% arba 8803.

Phenomenon of Urban Boundary in a Structure of a City. the Case of Vilnius
Scientific Journal of Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies Landscape Architecture and Art, Volume 16, Number 16 DOI: 10.22616/j.landarchart.2020.16.04 Phenomenon of urban boundary in a structure of a city. The case of Vilnius Inesa Alistratovaitė-Kurtinaitienė1, Goda Žukaitė2 1Department of Urban Design, Faculty of Architecture, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2freelancer architect, Lithuania Abstract. The article presents a theoretical – fundamental study of phenomenon of physical boundaries in a city and their meaning for the existing urban fabric. The paper draws attention to their different nature and possibilities of integration. In terms of its impact, an urban boundary can be both a catalyst and a tool that forces/stimulates/determines some or other conditions significant in formation of an urban structure. The aim of research is to identify/distinguish these boundaries in a city and see their multi-dimensional character, both in terms of positive and negative impacts on the existing environment. The article studies both the theoretical platform for urban boundaries and the practical works/projects, on the basis of which the laws of urban structure resulting from the perception of physical boundaries and principled solutions to eliminate the negative consequences of these boundaries and to promote positive ones are sought. The article moves from theory to practice by identifying the urban boundaries by means of an experiment, for implementation of which a complex city and then a particular district of it are selected. The city of Vilnius and its district Naujoji Vilnia have been chosen for this role. Vilnius is known for its rich topography, which allows the observation of natural boundaries formed by nature. -

Assessment of Neglected Areas in Vilnius City Using MCDM and COPRAS Methods Bielinskas Vytautas*, Burinskienė Marija, Palevičius Vytautas
Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 122 ( 2015 ) 29 – 38 Operational Research in Sustainable Development and Civil Engineering - meeting of EURO working group and 15th German-Lithuanian-Polish colloquium (ORSDCE 2015) Assessment of neglected areas in Vilnius city using MCDM and COPRAS methods Bielinskas Vytautas*, Burinskienė Marija, Palevičius Vytautas Department of Urban Engineering, Vilnius GediminasTechnical university, Vilnius, LT-10223, Lithuania Abstract Based on the research carried out by foreign scientists, it has been established, that the so-called brown spots represent one of the key factors investors take into account in deciding upon their plans to pursue urban development. The focus of research on the subject of brown spots lies on the uncertainty as regards the indicators, based on which neglected areas shall be assessed. The presence of neglected urban space areas is a negative phenomenon, however, nowadays it is being successfully dealt with. Despite this, the number of newly emerging neglected areas exceeds the number of those that have been revived. The methods of reviving neglected areas, however, are targeted at dealing with problem consequences rather than at eliminating the problem itself. The social and economic context, under which countries have developed and now exist, differs, therefore, a single and universally accepted system of neglected area early indicators, that could be applicable to any country or city/town, does not exist. The authors of the present article discuss the questions of what should be avoided in order to prevent urban areas from becoming neglected during their life cycle, how to identify them in due time and how to avoid negative effects thereof. -
