  • Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Guests ! the Lithuanian National Committee
    Ladies and Gentlemen, dear guests ! The Lithuanian National Committee of ICOMOS welcomes the participants of this Forum! This year we celebrate the 20th years anniversary when Vilnius Historic Center as Old Town and 10th years of Kernave archaeological site inscribed into World Heritage List of UNESCO. 25 years ago there was prepared documentation for inscription Vilnius Old Town in the World Heritage List. Two factors helped for the preparation of the documentation: 1. the international information about Vilnius Old Town in the main magazine- “ICOMOS Information” in 1989, Nr. 2; 2. The preparation of the Third project for Vilnius Old Town regeneration. After Vilnius Historic Center has been inscribed to World Heritage List there were accepted the common means of UNESCO, World Bank and Lithuania for Vilnius Old Town revitalization. The result of common efforts worked out Vilnius Old Town Revitalization Strategy. The preparation of the Strategy was financed by World Bank and Vilnius Municipality. The international experts from Denmark, Great Britain (Scotland) worked together with Lithuanian specialists in the preparing the Strategy. In 1998, 1999, 2000 Lithuanian Government assigned the special means to Vilnius Municipality for revitalization of Vilnius Old Town. It helped to improve physical state of buildings and infrastructure of the Old Town. In 1998 Vilnius Municipality established Vilnius Old Town Renewal Agency and adopted the Vilnius Old Town revitalization program from 1998 till 2003. It was very important to prepare and confirm the Vilnius City Official Plans: from 1998- till 2005 and from 2008 till 2015. One of the most important objectives of the Vilnius Official Plan is preservation of Vilnius Old Town as a World Heritage Site.

  • LITHUANIA Wooden Architecture of Vilnius Historie Suburbs
    Heritage at Risk 2004/2005 Lithuania 167 LITHUANIA Wooden Architecture of Vilnius Historie Suburbs In the 2001-2002 edition of Heritage at Risk, the Lithuanian National Committee of ICOMOS mentioned wooden architecture in historic suburbs as the most endangered of several groups of cultural heritage items in Lithuania. The historic centre of Vilnius - Old Town - is inscribed on the World Heritage List, but the survival of the wooden architecture of the historic suburbs of Vilnius remains problematic. For the Vilnius historic suburbs - Uzupis, Zverynas, Antakalnis, Snipiskes, Markuciai - have grown as separate residential areas in the configuration of the town's centre. Wooden architecture has survived there unevenly. Old wooden buildings still dominate in large areas of Zverynas, Snipiskes and Markuciai. In Uzupis and Antakalnis, groups of wooden buildings or individual ones are interwoven with brick buildings surrounded by a new urban environment.

  • Use of New Materials in a Restoration
    Use of New Materials in a Restoration Alina Samukienė Architect – restorer, Design company “ARCHIVOLTAS”, Svencioniu str, 7 – 2, Vilnius 2014, Lithuania This article will present the subject from an architects’ point of view. Use of new materials in a restoration of cultural heritage objects is related with many problems. First of all – traditions, their physical and esthetical relations with authentic historic elements and materials. Each country had its specific building elements that did not change too much during the history. Continuity of their use is a necessary condition for restoration, renovation or the adoptation for the new use of heritage building or the building which is located in the visual influence zone. New economic relations and recreation of property rights changed the previous state controle of all heritage conservation works in the country. New financial resources appeared, and the state financing of conservation works became much smaller during the last decade. New immovable cultural property owners have their opinion regarding necessary repair or restoration works. This opinion not necessary corresponds with requirements of heritage conservation specialists. Together with new property owners new building contractors come and they are not aquinted with specific of heritage conservation works. During first years of Lithuanian independence (since 1990) it became clear that a lot of unqualified work and use of unsuitable materials should be controled by the introduction of special licenses (for building companies) and qualification certificates for architects-restorers and conservation experts. Now everybody who wants to work with cultural heritage objects has to attend special training course and then to get a qualification certificate.
