Miesto įvaizdį formuojančių šiuolaikinės architektūros vietoženklių reikšmė. Vilniaus, Kauno, Klaipėdos atvejai / ; The Meaning of Contemporary Architectural Landmarks Important for The City Image. The Case of Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda.
In the global urban development, the construction of new architectural landmarks is one of the most prominent phenomena, which has been widely observed and analyzed in Western Europe for more than a decade. However, in urban areas, distinctive architectural objects are still often viewed through the prism of the half-century theories. The key innovation proposed in the thesis is a construction of the research model that helps to explore the meaning of the contemporary architectural landmarks important for the city image. The theoretical aspects in the dissertation are in line with the practical ones. Methodological basis there were the text analysis principles developed by R. Barthes, emphasizing meaningful level of an object. From 1990 to 2010, built in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaipėda image forming modern architecture landmarks here treated as a visual text. The research model reveals aesthetic, physical and some other features of contemporary architectural landmarks (exceptional location, distinctive function), distinguishing them in the urban context. In total, 363 respondents of citizens and architects groups were interviewed in the sociological survey and it led to the creation of The images of meaning, which consist of nine key values. In order to process the data of the survey and to find the correlation between the contemporary architectural landmarks’ values frequency and aesthetic, physical, and the distinctive function, the exceptional location characteristics mathematical statistics methodological tools were used. It helped to see the differences of perception and to better understand the nature of contemporary architecture.
