The Best Graduation Projects of Architecture Students of Baltic States 2024
14 projects represent 7 Baltic architecture schools: Estonian Academy of Arts (EST); Tallinn University of Technology (EST); Kaunas Technology University (LT); Vilnius Academy of Arts (LT); Architecture and Urban Design departments of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (LT); Riga Technical University (LV) and Riseba University (LV).
The projects submitted to the exhibition and competition were selected by the universities. Each school selected up to two Master’s works for the exhibition.
The graduation works are evaluated by the jury, consisting of licensed architects who are not involved in teaching architecture at any of the participating schools in Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania.
International - Søren Pihlmann, architect at Architect maa and founder of pihlmann architects
LV - Raimonds Saulītis, architect at Arhis
LT - Justina Muliuolytė, architect at PuPa/Life over Space
EE - Mari Rass, architect at Arhitekt Must
The projects are evaluated on:
- conceptuality, originality, innovativeness;
- coherence of the architectural or urban idea;
- quality of the presentation;
while also taking into account the New European Bauhaus values:
- sustainability (from climate goals to circularity, zero pollution, and biodiversity);
- aesthetics (quality of experience and style beyond functionality);
- inclusion (from valuing diversity to securing accessibility and affordability).
