scandinvian city experiences__ it is time now to reflect on what kind of cities I lived in and what I have learned from them. I wish to finally write about it before 2012_06 Oslo_ 2012_ 01-06 _ _ _

This is a sticker design for the notebooks and sketchbooks I made out of the reused paper and cardboard material at the AAA_ (Aarhus School of Architecture) Making these books made me think about the value of things and the symbols used to mark them. Could the object have more value if it is a waste? What is valuable after all? _ book images are coming soon_

 These are two experiments made to test how small and fin I can go with the paper material and the 3d print. Which also reflects my interest and first attempts to minimize the material use and optimize (make easy) the way of producing so called "complex" geometry. The part of the experiments was also to experiment with the differentiation of the elements used for the single piece of the structure in order to have a bigger diversity and flexibility of the spatial formations. The structure itself is generated by two lines representing two pedestrian traffics which are given the height parameters of the surrounding buildings and the with of the sidewalks. Next step in shaping the structure is pulling the formed space to the points where people gather and the mid point of both lines attract each other as well. In that way an invisible spacial formation emerges and is given the structural properties through the parametric mesh, which allows the abstarct shape to be produced in various scales by manipulating its mesh and the perforation. The model itself is just a representational, inspirational one, it does not intend to suggest an building proposal at this stage. The work flow for the paper model is: grasshopper, rhino, pepakura, autocad, laser cut, hand assembling by folding and gluing here and there. DONE! Topology optimization workshop 09/28/2011

Semester's work in a book. You can purchase it via blurb.com: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2273544  Proposal for the humongous shopping center extension going beneath the existing glassy skin and inserting a public matrix. New volume is added on the top of the building according to the changed building height regulations and function redistribution, taking the volume from the public space and compensating it with the commercial areas on the higher levels.

 Morghogenetic structures designed with Grasshopper. rm 2011.04.11 I have been staying in Scandinavia for a couple of months by now. People I meet here often ask me about Lithuanian and other Baltic countries traditional and contemporary architecture. To find this out, I made a small research of what these countries actually build today and what they have inherited from the various previous historical periods. While researching, Estonian architecture has become something of my great interest because of their progressive work with the urban reuse. For example in the Rotermani kvartal. It would be interesting to continue to investigate the urban transformations in the Baltic states and Scandinavia. Though with this research I simply hope to understand the context in which we work today.    | Rasa Marozaite
