CITY VIEW
EN. Cities have always changed the horizontal with the vertical. Because the city is intersection. Today, this intersection is re-thought. Towers along the ground and spacious squares create events with which we grow. It is used by anyone who is interested in the beak. Like a dream. Like a tower Remember the tree and the wonderful architecture of the Aukštaitija shutters, which will return the memory of our Nature. A large volume as a transparent, mysterious space, the ever-changing light. An unexpectedly catching spike makes you know. Warm.

ARCHITECTURE
EN.The building is like a secret wooden box with a curiosity, a beak. It is a composition that is shining with a clear stain (100 meters of colored glass and steel structure), combining all floors, relaxing the old monumental building and unexpectedly in the air. The natural larch (fixed natural warm shade), optically active and pictorial awnings (covering the reconstructed volume of masonry and reinforced concrete) together with the walls of warm tinted glass create a sense of a cozy spot in the city. To obtain the equilibrium, squares (granite blocks, 5x5cm) and terraces (larch board composition) appear in silver gray. Creating a picturesque, nuanced, warm-cold color. The entire interior of the interior is neatly white. The high light passes through wooden openings, which have the possibility of adjusting the light flow. The Stadio Eidrigivic rooms are lit with natural light from the top (sun loungers) or artificial ones. The exhibition hall can be fully stocked using a shuttle system and a night show. A terrace for changing sculptures is provided at this room. All floors can be accessed by stairs or glass and transport lifts.

INTERIOR
EN. The interior in common spaces is created as a kaleidoscope exposed to the sun, and in the exhibition halls as a quiet, empty and calm interior. The central staircase-hinged axis travels from the photo-video or archives exhibition hall in the basement to the third floor, where we are already moving from the super-perspective to the top of the spine … or so back … becoming increasingly reminiscent of the infinity of art.

SPACE PLANNING,
OPERATION AND LOGISTICS
EN. The main entrance to the reconstructed building is expected from the west, the presentation of exhibits to the building – from the east, from Kranto street.
The existing visual height of the building is maintained, but the appearance of two large terraces allows the spaces to be arranged on two levels. Creates green spaces for the city with lawns, shallow water pools, shrubs and grasshoppers.
Parking (101 places) with a reconstructed building is not interconnected, but a small distance provides a convenient access to the Art Center by car. The area has bike racks and a storage room. Expected arrival times (Kiss & Ride area) and car hire for people with disabilities.
