The development of regional concepts in wood architecture in Lithuania
Santrauka
World regional architectural concepts significantly influenced and continue to affect the development of wood architecture in Lithuania. Such architectural ideas encourage more meaningful quality in attractive and well thought-out architectural design. The impact of such thinking can be seen in the architectural practice in Lithuania from the beginning of the twentieth century. During the Soviet occupation such regionalism also influenced in a significant manner the uninterrupted development of wood architecture. In Lithuania, the regionally-generated design ideas were directly related to the use of wood in architecture and to the search for new architectural expression using wood and harmonizing it with native ethnographic traits and attributes.
