Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the architectural design works of the renowned Lithuanian architect professor, Rimantas Buivydas, as they relate to symbolism and the themes of public space design. It also specifically deals with his participation in the tradition of placing symbols in architectural design projects and in his designs for public spaces. For the analysis of this tradition, ideas of Carl Gustav Jung, Juan Edouard Cirlot and Umberto Eco are used. From Buivydas’s architectural legacy as well as from his theoretical studies, the principles of composition for public spaces and the aesthetics of their architectural design are analyzed. The focus is mostly on how symbols are coded in the architectural design plans and sculptures that dominate in the compositions.
