After hosting architecture competitions and charrettes for years, we have observed a multitude of biases that juries subscribe to when it comes to core principles of architectural design and representation methods. Unlike the typical hot-button issues that drive architectural discourse like sustainability or accessibility, these biases are subconsciously implemented, yet they have equal influence on outcomes. For example, we’ve seen that regardless of style, projects that stress certain design principles like repetition and scale are more likely to win competitions.

Space is a site for human interaction, dealings, rituals, games and spectacles. These actions determine the spatial design to a great extent and the spatial features influence the user and the functions. People focus on the functions of the target space now. Building and design of a space considers the relationship between space and functions. Design with functions is a key point to transform a space to be brand new place. The function always affects the final spatial form of the design. Spatial types can be identified and distinguished by how clearly its specific function can be recognized in the structural design.

We have started development of the Seaside Resort “Queen Louise”. This historically important landmark to the city of Klaipėda is envisioned to be renovated and expanded to create a multipurpose complex including wellness resort and recreational residences. This scenic location, we believe, is ideal for providing access to the pristine Baltic Sea coast of Giruliai not only through development but also through preservation. An undiscovered gem reflecting Northern Europe’s pristine natural beauty. Dazzled by the brightness of our cities, we often forget the extraordinary vision that Systema Naturae can offer us. However, there are still places that are close to nature where the beauty of nature appears in its entire splendour.
