Abstract:
The author discusses the idea of architecture criticism and its interpretation. Criticism, in addition to its traditional literary role, is considered as an act of making. Consequently, architecture is understood as criticism--i.e. a making of critical architecture. The making of critical architecture, as an activity prevalent throughout history, is discussed. Two types of this architectural phenomenon are identified as the critical zeitgeist phenomenon and the critical individualist phenomenon. The critical making of this architecture, supported by two operations or manipulations--the princip

Abstract:
Richard Serra's sculpture constitutes a political act through its analytical and operative strategies: analytical, when the work exposes the structures that frame our intersubjectivity, and operative, when the work acts as an example of resistance to the habitual acceptance of these structures. The significance of this oeuvre to architecture is that Serra's sculpture deliberately presents itself as something just shy of architecture, claiming its critical role to be that abandoned by--and proper to--architecture.

Abstract:
The ‘Avant-Garde’ in architecture seems a challenging subject: first, because the term has not yet clearly defined, despite the ubiquity of its use; second, because through that ubiquity it has become a buzz-word that is empty of precise meaning; third, because although this use includes the history of modern architecture, its application to this field has been largely unreflective and often unconsidered, as this thesis demonstrates. There is ambivalence as to which architectures are ‘Avant-Garde’ or should be regarded as ‘Avant-Garde.’ Therefore, there is a challenge in any question such as:

Baigiamajame darbe ne tik nagrinėjama J. Šeiboko kūryba, bet ir perteikiamos architekto įžvalgos skirtingų sociokultūrinių laikmečių kontekste, nušviečiama J. Šeiboko pedagoginė veikla, pateikiami kolegų komentarai analizuojamais klausimais. Darbas atskleidžia architekto kūrybinius principus, J. Šeiboko kūrybos vertę ir jai kylančias išlikimo grėsmes. Yra daroma išvada, kad J. Šeiboko kūriniai - vertingi architektūriniu, meniniu požiūriu ir tai yra svarus indėlis į šiuolaikinę Lietuvos architrektūrą. Baigiamojo darbo įvade aprašomas darbo aktualumas ir ištirtumas, tikslas, tyrimo uždaviniai, į

Abstract:
This thesis reflects on the Lettres sur l'Architechure of Viel de Saint-Maux, published in Paris in 1787. This period represents a crisis point at which classical architechure and a traditional means of relating-to-the-world had exhausted themselves. In the Lettres, St.-Maux privileges original agrarian societies who worship the natural force of fecundity and the agricultural bounty that results from it. He claims that this worship supplied the radical base for their iconographic and symbolic forms as applied to architecture. Viel de St.-Maux's privileging of the generative forces of nature as

Abstract:
This thesis examines the ways in which Frank Gehry’s architectural contributions to Los Angeles’ social and built environment have shaped the region’s “postmodern geographies” throughout the 20th and 21st century. Through a focused exploration of three of Gehry’s postmodernist structures in Greater Los Angeles—a house, a library, and a concert hall—this thesis analyses how Gehry and his designs reflected and affected the artistic and socio-spatial development of Los Angeles’ “decidedly postmodern landscape.”

Abstract:
Šiame darbe keliamos ir tiriamos dvi Lietuvos sakralinės architektūros problemos – tradicija ir novacija, jų tarpusavio santykis šiuolaikinėje sakralinėje architektūroje. Tradiciją lemia istorija, per šimtmečius susiformavę įpročiai ir papročiai. Taip pat nemenką įtaką daro tokie svarbūs veiksniai kaip karai, okupacijos ir svetima ideologija. Lietuvoje ilgą laiką buvo draudžiama ir varžoma religinės minties ir praktikos sklaida. Tokiomis sąlygomis sakralinės architektūros tradicija neišliko gyvastinga, buvo trukdoma visavertiškai jos raidai. Platesnė ir išsamesnė šios architektūros analizė pad

Abstract:
Šiame darbe bus tyrinėjama Lietuvos postmodernizmo stilistinės krypties architektūra, apžvelgiant skirtingus jos raidos etapus – ištakas, kurios randamos dar sovietmečiu (8 – 9 dešimtmečiais), ankstyvosios nepriklausomybės etapą, bei laikotarpį po 2000 m. Darbe bus pristatoma postmodernizmo architektūros raida pasaulyje, jos estetinis ir idėjinis pagrindas, pagrindinių teoretikų suformuoti svarbiausi šios stilistikos bruožai. Mėginama išanalizuoti, kaip ši architektūros stilistinė kryptis vystėsi pasaulyje ir kaip – Lietuvoje. Darbe nagrinėjama raida nuo pirminių projektų iki užbaigtų pastatų.

Abstract:
The following study investigates the fictional works of an early twentieth century Czechoslovakian writer named Franz Kafka. "The space of Kafka" is explored primarily through the "identity" of his characteristic monster figures and the temporally disjunctive narratives through which they travel. Monstrosity is qualified here as a principal mode of translation through which Kafka engaged the very terms of "identity" which an "individual" faces in the appearance of any "work". The intimations of a monstrous self are probed through Kafka's work in relation to human experience, intentionality, al

Abstract:
Sir John Soane (1753--1837) is an intriguing character. This architect has transformed his London House into a Museum. The only thing we have left of him is the House and three Descriptions of it. I will not try to put apart what Sir John Soane has done in his House but see what he has done. Soane invites us in the House, lets you visit it and be lost. Once you have dived, accepted the invitation, you have found a house full of art objects gathered to teach architecture. Art and architecture meet. The experience is haunting. Through it the architect rediscovers the story of objects to identify
