The Lithuanian Pavilion's exhibition, Archi / Tree / tecture, at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale highlights the intertwined relationships between architecture and urban nature. Curated by Gintaras Balčytis, it showcases an installation designed by architects Paulius Vaitiekūnas, Andrius Pukis, and Vika Pranaitytė. Central to the discussion is the need for an empathetic approach towards ecosystems and collective historical memory in contemporary urban planning. Drawing on Lithuania's pagan heritage, the exhibit underscores the significance of natural elements, particularly trees, in maintaining neighborhood identity and resilience against rapid urban transformations.
The exhibition invites reflections on the connections between architecture and urban nature, positioning architecture as an interpretive medium that reveals layered relationships shaping our cities.
The curatorial team's approach emphasizes an empathetic understanding of ecosystems, integrating memory into discussions on architecture's role to support resilient citizenry amid modern life changes.
