EDUCATION CENTRE

Europos Parkas Education Centre can be easily called architecture-sculpture. The roof of the sculptural building grass-lined and looks like a hill. Through the incorporation into the environment, the work of minimal plastic form expression becomes its integral part and explores a new stage of the development of the architecture in Lithuania.

The editor-in-chief of Namas ir As magazine Grazina Kociene notices: „It seemed like not a building, but a huge sculpture revealing the mysterious interior spaces of the hill.“

„The building has a unique form. From the one side it looks like a fish, from the other one – like a rock, and from one more – like a swardy land knoll,“ – writes Kristina Noreikiene in her article in the Centras magazine.

„Untouched nature is not only a background but also subject-matter and source of inspiration, this is proved by the newest Gintaras' work – „building-sculpture“ – so-called not only because of plastic shape emerging and disappearing in hilly relief but also due to its manner of realisation,“ – writes Ieva Jaskutelyte, editor-in-chief of Naujas Namas magazine.
