Šio darbo tema – Palazzo tipo rūmai XVI–XVIII a. Vilniaus architektūroje. Pažymėtina, kad Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės ir Vilniaus architektūros istoriografijoje rezidencijų klausimui skirta pakankamai daug dėmesio, tačiau tipologiniu atžvilgiu atskiri sostinės rūmai beveik nenagrinėjami. Pagrindiniu šio tyrimo objektu yra Renesanso epochoje susiformavusi miesto rezidencija – palazzo. Savo darbe autorius analizuoja minėto tipo rūmų paplitimo lygį renesansinėje, barokinėje ir klasicistinėje Vilniaus architektūroje, išskirdamas šio modelio bei jo stilistinių formų recepcijos ypatybes. Darbą sudaro trys dalys, iš kurių pirmoji yra įvadinė. Joje suformuluotas darbo objektas, iškelti probleminiai klausimai, nustatyti tikslai ir uždaviniai bei tyrimo metodai. Antroji dalis yra teorinio pobūdžio, joje kalbama apie palazzo reiškinį. Pirmiausia, bandoma išsiaiškinti rūmų fenomeną nuo pačių seniausių laikų iki renesanso, po to nagrinėjamas Renesanso epochos miesto rezidencijos klausimas, išsiaiškinamos socialinės ir ekonominės šios rezidencinės architektūros prielaidos bei analizuojama palazzo raida nuo ankstyviausios renesanso stadijos iki manierizmo. Toliau nagrinėjama įtališkųjų miesto rūmų recepcija bendraeuropiniame kontekste. Pagrindinis pirmojo skyriaus tikslas – parodyti itališkojo tipo rezidencijų specifiką, jų planinę ir erdvinę struktūrą ir būdingiausias eksterjero detales, siekiant pritaikyti bendrus kriterijus, kurie padėtų tipologiškai suklasifikuoti analogiško...

It should be noticed that in the historiography of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (henceforth GDL) and Vilnius architecture the question of residences has received sufficient attention. However, from the point of view of typology, separate palaces of the capital are scarcely analyzed. The main object of this research is palazzo – an urban residence, which formed in the Renaissance époque. The author of this paper analyzes the spread of the latter type of palaces in the Renaissance, Baroque and Classicistic architecture of Vilnius. In addition, the peculiarities of this model and its stylistic forms are distinguished. The paper consists of three parts. In the first part the object is formulated, the problematic questions are raised and the aims as well as methods are set. The second part is theoretical. It presents an overview of the phenomenon of palazzo. At first, an attempt to investigate the phenomenon of the palaces from the earliest times till the Renaissance is made. Later on, the question of an urban residence in the époque of Renaissance is examined, social and economical assumptions about this residential architecture are tested, and the development of palazzo from the earliest stage of Renaissance till the Mannerism is analyzed. Further on, the reception of Italian urban palaces in the general European context is analyzed. The basic aim of the first part is to show the... [to full text]

Our thesis are focused on analyzing urban development of two major cities in Lithuania Vilnius and Kaunas. We analyse evolution and development of the cities focusing on the last 20 year period in the country, based on the urban agglomeration development models and evolution theory, planning experience around the world. By looking at the urban development indicators like built up area density, population, people mobility and change of different statistical data over time we try to understand development of these cities. Our main goal is based on these data to make a vision for future urban development of the Vilnius and Kaunas. During our work we found that over past 20 Vilnius has experienced fast change which have elements of uncontrolled expansion. Furthermore, planning problems in Vilnius are similar to cities of fast metropolitan development, but with unique historically shaped features. Based on analysis strategic planning, regional development, urban development of these two cities, we conclude that urban and strategic planning measures in Vilnius and Kaunas should be focused to bringing these similar sized cities together. In our vision of the region we suggest to aim at creating one structure of these two cites by linking them and incorporating smaller towns in between them into the functional region of growing metropolis. / Karolis Maciulevičius Phone: +37061282346 Email: kaarolis@gmail.com Vilnius, Lithuania

1 ABSTRACT This thesis describes the theatre reform at the turn of 19th and 20th century in its wider sociocultural concept. It focuses on the reaction of theatre to the modernistic crisis of European culture and society. Modernism is understood here according to its wider thematic and chronological definition. Modernism is based on the conception of machine civilization as it was defined by a Polish sociologist Jerzy Jedlicki. Jedlicki places the rise of modernistic cultural formation into the second half of 18th century which is when a steam engine was invented and it was a time of social turbulence and changes in human spirituality. Another theoretical frame of the thesis is created by utopia phenomenon as it was defined by Jerzy Szacki. Second half of 20th century is considered to be the end of modernism, inasmuch the utopic visions which had been placed on theatre faded away. The main topic of the thesis is Juliusz Osterwa's and Mieczyslaw Limanowski's theatre studio Reduta. It was founded in Warsaw in 1919 and it was to a great extend inspired by Moscow theatre studios of Stanislavsky and by Polish theatre sources (Stanislaw Wyspianski). By studying selected examples, the thesis studies Reduta as a realisation of modernistic utopia when theatre was supposed to carry a special mission in renaissance of...
