Tradicinė architektūra: išstūmimas ir sugrįžimas
Traditional Architecture: Displacement and Return

Summary/Abstract: Modern consciousness was strongly fascinated by the idea of progress. As a consequence, tradition was abandoned and marginalised. Traditional architecture as well as traditional ways of building were marginalised by the vanguard aspirations and modernist practice. However, during recent decades, especially after the arrival of postmodernism, the situation of traditional architecture has changed and a new phenomenon – modern traditional architecture has come into being. The article provides a discussion of this important shift. The author of the article suggests that current concerns about sustainable future provide an impetus for traditional architecture to be reconsidered and consequently to regain the lost ways of traditional building.
