The pavilion is built using timber from the Curonian Spit forests – wood typically chipped for biofuel or pulp in the paper industry. Over several years, the Neringa Forest Architecture collective has diverted a wide variety of this wood from this process, archiving it at Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts for material experiments, art education, and production.

The materiality and design of the Children’s Forest Pavilion respond to the geometries of timber shaped by wind and the particular soil conditions of the Curonian Spit. The playscape is crafted from custom-cut, paper-thin pieces to thick planks of black alder, mountain pines, black locust, birch, chestnut, maple, and pine.

Following its presentation in Venice, the installation ‘branched off’ into two distinct sites. One element – the roof structure – is now installed in the old-growth forest in Juodkrante, where it functions as the Neringa Forest Classroom, a destination for forest walks and environmental education workshops. Meanwhile, the play platforms, shadow play projections, and other elements are installed at Stasys Museum’s Education Space, supporting its research and learning activities led by the pavilion’s contributors and the team at the museum.

Every way of seeing Lithuania’s green garment is shaped by its own optics – filtered through the observer’s interests and conditioned by an entire sequence of instruments and methodologies. ‘Forest Atlas’ is a process-based exhibition that invites visitors to enter the density of the forest at its centre – without beginning or end – into a constellation of prints assembled by aligning a diversity of forest images. The pictures, photographs, diagrams and maps presented in ‘Forest Atlas’ cartograph publicly available spatial data, revealing territorial changes, tracing the preparation and circulation of timber, and mapping the networks of production and technological innovation within the timber industry.

The notion of sustainability – now deeply embedded in cultural language to describe both products and the renewable resources used to produce them – arose historically from operations carried out in forest spaces. It is linked to the efficient cyclicality of felling and planting, and to the exploitation of forest territories designed to produce predictable, renewable timber stocks. Methods and tools developed to measure trees and compute their volume gradually reshaped our perception of forest habitats: to harvest timber more efficiently, forests were schematised, simplified, and reduced to numerical tables. Wetlands were drained, tree density thinned, creating the most favourable conditions for the strongest, straightest trees. In the process, the ability to see the forest as a long-formed, impenetrable, biodiversity-rich space was eroded. Today, this vision is being reconstructed – driven by ecological concern and a growing cultural shift that calls for the expanded protection of forest areas and the preservation of diverse ecosystems to support adaptation to climate heating.

The forest is a place of tension – shaped by competing interests, seen through culturally conditioned lenses. ‘Forest Atlas’ is dedicated to sensing forms of knowledge and imagination that link diverse disciplines, opening a fragmented overview of the relationships at work in forest futurity.

‘Forest Atlas’ opened on Saturday, 14 June,At the same time, in another forest and another cultural institution – Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts – the ‘Neringa Wood Works’ began, led by the resident carpenters’ collective gemeinsam bauen wir neu, the accompanying exhibition features work created by participants in the Neringa Forest Architecture project since 2020.

Exhibition dates: June 14 – July 13, 2025.

Visiting hours: Saturdays and Sundays, 12:00–17:00, or by prior appointment at tel. 061416255.

Address: Marcinkonys Station Gallery, Kastinio g. 1C, Marcinkonys.

The Neringa Forest Classroom is a continuation of the Children’s Forest Pavilion, Lithuania at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2023.

21–24 October 2024
Curonian Spit National Park Nature School, Nida

25–29 November 2024
Neringa Forest Classroom, Juodkrante
Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts, Nida

As part of the Neringa Municipality initiative to promote the development of an Educational Cluster that connects Neringa Gymnasium with art and cultural organisations in the Neringa and Klaipėda regions, Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts, in collaboration with the Curonian Spit National Park and the Old Growth Forest Foundation, is conducting the first series of outdoor educational activities. This programme focuses on exploring the dynamics of ecosystems within the forests, coastal areas, and sand dunes of the Curonian Spit, with a strong emphasis on biodiversity and understanding human impacts on nature.

This educational programme brings together teachers from Neringa Gymnasium, environmental educators, botanists, mycologists, and artists in a cross-sectoral initiative that encourages experiential learning and interdisciplinary collaboration. By connecting natural sciences and the arts, the programme provides students and participants with a holistic perspective on environmental stewardship, fostering a deeper understanding of the local landscape and its delicate ecological relationships.

The programme begins with a session led by Curonian Spit National Park educator Gvidas Laukaitis. Over the course of four days, from 21 to 24 October, students from four classes in grades 1–4 engage in outdoor explorations to learn about the unique formation of the sand dunes that define the Curonian Spit. They study the varying sizes and characteristics of sand grains, observing how natural forces shape the dunes over time. Through extensive guided walks and practical exercises such as building a model of the protective dune using sand and natural materials, the pupils experience the dunes up close, gaining an understanding of their meaning to the local ecosystem and how they interact with surrounding flora and fauna. 

From 25 to 29 November, Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts hosts a session focused on understanding the delicate ecological processes within an old-growth forest, led by Sengirės Fondas experts: mycologist Aurelija Pluke and botanist Vilma Gudynienė. These sessions take place within the forest and are joined by artist Aistė Ambrazevičiūtė, who guides participants in translating and deepening their forest experiences by exploring the intricate forms and representations of slime moulds and lichens on a molecular scale, revealing a spectrum of unique colours and forms and allowing participants to observe and appreciate the hidden complexity of these forest organisms, transforming scientific exploration into an artistic lens on biodiversity. 

Their work is supported by the environmental educator Riita (Nyyskä) Nykänen from Mustarinda Association in Finland. Nyyskä develops learning materials and introduces new approaches to outdoor environmental education supporting learning in nature, proposing teachers with new tools and strategies for engaging students with their natural surroundings.

The outdoor programme is centered around the Neringa Forest Classroom, a structure with a roof and seating platforms nestled within Juodkrantė’s old-growth forest, along the dendrological path near the ‘Sound Catcher’ installation. This classroom serves as both a continuation and the final phase of the Children’s Forest Pavilion, initially presented as Lithuania’s pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia 2023. Constructed entirely from timber sourced from the Curonian Spit, the pavilion was originally designed as an educational playscape for the biennale, with the aim of relocating it to the Neringa forests as a permanent, publicly accessible installation. This transformation allows the classroom to continue its purpose as a site for ecological and cultural education, welcoming all who wish to explore and learn from the surrounding natural landscape.

During the five days of environmental workshops, the Neringa Forest Classroom – whose structure subtly blends with the fragile forest landscape – acts as a starting and gathering point, a natural landmark from which pupils can embark on exercises that deepen their engagement with the ecosystem, immersing them in the very environment they are learning about.

Forest Parts

from 28 November 2024 to 25 May 2025
galerie blanche
arc en rêve centre d’architecture, Bordeaux

Elements that can be freely assembled to create interconnectable structures; wood samples collected from private monoculture plantations, experimental forests, private and state-managed mixed forests; materials from industrial timber production processes. These are just some of the ‘forest parts’ which, in this exhibition by the Neringa Forest Architecture collective, provide tactile links to the stories, processes and practices that have shaped and continue to shape the Landes de Gascogne forests. 

This vast wooded area is a mosaic of practices determined not only by the imperatives of maritime pine monoculture but also by the practices of care for its biodiversity. Conceived as a playscape, this exhibition is an invitation to the forest. Beginning with a film documenting outdoor workshops held in the forests of Lithuania and Finland, it unfolds through a Shadow Play animated by projections, a Samples Play for interacting with wooden elements, and a Timeline tracing both the history and the future of this complex ecosystem.

The exhibition includes workshops and educational activities for school groups, organising visits to forests and industrial sites which are rarely accessed by the public. These visits allow young people to experience different forestry and timber production practices and participate in discussions about the possible futures of woodland areas.

PARTS OF THE PLAYSCAPE

Samples Play is an open-ended game where players of all ages interact with an assembly of wood elements, guided by their own imagination and intentions. Each sample can also be read and decoded by linking it to its origin—whether to the specific forest and habitat where the tree grew or the process that transformed it into a timber product. The accompanying texts provide an overview and introduction to these sources:
English – Samples Play
Français – Jeu d’échantillons

Shadow Play is an enclosed space animated by the play of shadows created from various plants, lichens, and mushrooms: impressions on transparent film derived from the plates of the Léon Dufour Herbarium preserved at the Bordeaux Botanical Garden, X-ray images of maritime pine (Pin maritime) samples intended for dendrochronology (the analysis of events experienced by a tree throughout its lifetime) from the research of L. Bouffier and F. Lagane at the joint INRAE/University of Bordeaux Biogeco research unit, as well as plant and other organism samples collected during various visits to the Landes de Gascogne forests. Visitors are invited to bring their own “forest findings” to create new shadows.

Chronology traces the main events and forces that have historically shaped the Landes de Gascogne forest, while also possibly overseeing the future.

During the closing week of the Biennale Architettura, the Children’s Forest Pavilion hosts a screening of short film essays produced as part of the semester project “The Political Ecology of the Spit” lead by Prof. Dr. Ines Weizman and Christina Condak at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

High sand dunes, pine forests and ‘climate holiday’ resort towns characterise the Curonian Spit on the Baltic Sea coast shared by what is now Russia and Lithuania. However, the pristine appearance of this narrow landscape hides a deep history of human intervention that politicised nature by adding monuments and milestones, gardens, roads and border crossings, and even altering almost completely the geological and biological makeup of its terrain. In the late 19th century, when the area became part of Prussia / the German Empire, an enormous forest cultivation project was undertaken to colonise the land, but also to tame the dynamics of moving dunes and sand-storms. During the First World War, the famous High Dunes of the Spit were even used as military training targets for bombardment from the sea. Tragically, Second World War histories and present-day border hostilities relating to the war on Ukraine, including the intimidation of migrants across the Baltic region, connect. 

The semester project “The Political Ecology of the Spit” investigated the impact that the contestation of national borders through military occupations and changing political regimes has had on a vital, yet vulnerable, ecosystem that uniquely interconnects the cultural history and forms of habitation in the Baltic region. It aimed to explore and narrate unique histories entangled in a dynamic landscape of forests, dunes, agriculture, architecture and artistic colonies. At the core of the studio was an excursion to the Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts in the Curonian Spit National Park in Lithuania (March 2023). The studio involved archival and media research, documentation, film making and mapping that were presented in a project exhibition that included research scripts, and short documentary film essays.

2125 Campo Tana, Castello, Venice
(opposite the entrance to the Arsenale)

Hosted by Scotland + Venice
Curated by A Fragile Correspondence and Dualchas

This event is a part of the public programme supporting A Fragile Correspondence, a collateral event of the 18th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, created by the Architecture Fringe, -ism magazine and /other.

Expanding on the themes of architecture, land, landscape and language common to both A Fragile Correspondence and Dualchas’s presentation in the Arsenale as well as many other presentations at this year’s Exhibition, the event creates a space for dialogue between a range of different projects – all united through their interest in architecture as a social, cultural and political activity. This dialogue asks how a closer reading of land and landscape can help architecture adapt to the changing world of the climate emergency, an evolving profession, and a recalibration of what it means to practice architecture.

Through an afternoon of talks, panel discussions and debates, with a diverse range of speakers, these ideas will be explored from multiple perspectives across La Biennale. We will also be paying a visit to the Lithuanian Pavilion as part of the programmed event. The afternoon will end with some light refreshments.

Programme:

2:00pm Hellos and Welcomes

2:15pm Dialogue 1: Architecture and Land
Austrian Pavilion (Philipp Stern) + Orizzontale (Giuseppe Grant)

3:00pm Dialogue 2: Architecture and Language
Dualchas (Rory Flyn) + Dualchas Collaborators (Peter Marsden, Jordan Young, Hector MacInnes) + A Fragile Correspondence (Kristina Enberg, Neil McGuire, Andy Summers)

2125 Campo Tana, Castello, Venice
(opposite the entrance to the Arsenale)

A conversation by curatorial teams of the Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Austrian pavilions moderated by Aurora Fonda will share experiences in developing and implementing their unique projects for the 18th Biennale Architettura. With a specific focus and attention to Venice – how each developed authentic sensibility towards the locality of the historic city and its challenges while being related through the main topic of this year’s Biennale – The Laboratory of the Future. 

Their diverse propositions will be discussed as possibly mutually complementary projects that could be read as specific case studies of response to the different contexts of the urban structure of the Venice microcosm. A direct comparison of these visions offers a moment for a dialogue on possible continuities for the knowledge and relations that have been developed throughout this process.
