The 39m³ of timber at the core of the Neringa Forest Architecture project – gathered over a three-year cycle in a timber archive at Nida Art Colony of the Vilnius Academy of Arts (VAA NAC) – represent a fraction of the biomass regularly cut for landscape maintenance and forest management works on the Curonian Spit. This material is typically processed into wood chips and enters the biofuel market, where it is sold as biomass for combustion in centralised (district) heating plants – these facilities generate over 70% of Lithuania’s total heat supply. In the research residency programme initiated in 2020 at VAA NAC, this timber was redirected and instead became both the basis for and catalyst of a wide range of activities that unfolded over the following five years – including the development of the ‘Children’s Forest Pavilion’, Lithuania’s pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia 2023.

‘Neringa Wood Works’ functions as an activated workshop, a summer long studio dedicated to work with wood: from 14 June to 31 August, each Saturday and Sunday, the collective gemeinsam bauen wir neu – a group formed by women and queer technicians, architects and carpenters in Zurich that addresses accessibility and inclusion to professions requiring knowledge of machines and building technologies – and other contributors to the Neringa Forest Architecture project, hold workshops at VAA NAC. These sessions focus on working with wood from the Curonian Spit – reflecting both the local context and the techniques of using this wood: making the material and experimenting with it accessible to both local Neringa inhabitants and the summer guests.

The workshop space is accompanied by a timeline presenting a broad scope of experimental and playful approaches to redefining work with timber, carried out over the past five years by programme residents, contributors and student courses – ranging from research-based projects, tours and walks in the landscape and a shepherds’ artistic residency to tangible objects and image-based works. Together, these present a working model for engaging with landscape and heritage through situated, critical practice. The project approaches both as dynamic fields – shaped by historical processes, administrative frameworks and lived experience – and addresses them as spaces where cultural work can be attentive, responsive and materially grounded.

NERINGA FOREST CLASSROOM

Neringa Forest Architecture collective, in collaboration with the Neringa Municipality Educational Cluster, the Nida Art Colony of Vilnius Academy of Arts, the Curonian Spit National Park, and the Old Growth Forest Foundation, is conducting an educational program at the Neringa Forest Classroom built in Juodkrantė’s old‑growth forest near the dendrological path. It is continuation of the Children’s Forest Pavilion, which represented Lithuania at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale 2023. Constructed entirely from Curonian Spit timber, the pavilion was conceived as an educational playscape, with the intent of relocating it to the Neringa forests as a publicly accessible installation. The classroom serves as a site for ecological and cultural education, welcoming all who wish to explore and learn from the surrounding forest landscape.

MORE ABOUT THE NERINGA FOREST CLASSROOM

FOREST CONTINUUM WORKBOOK

Forest Continuum Workbook is composed of multilayered stories, workshops, and activities created in collaboration with local children in the Kainuu area of Finland. It has grown from a series of workshops held by members of the Mustarinda Association in the notably large but threatened areas of old-growth forest in the northern boreal zone. In the workbook you can read about the forest, its ecosystem and communities, and explore your own environments through the multisensory activities within.

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.

This publication serves as a photographic document and proposal to preserve Jonas Prapuolenis’ (1900–1980) hand-built Studio in which he designed and produced most of his work over a remarkable and inventive career. The Studio sits on a nearly century-old site in the Žaliakalnis neighbourhood of Kaunas alongside Prapuolenis’ home and surrounding garden, which continue to be cared for by his son, Bangutis Prapuolenis. 

Jonas Prapuolenis was a designer, artist, and educator who interpreted the textures and qualities of local timber, and its particular, unique structures and patterns shaped by the local climate and terrain and translated its geometries into artistic furniture pieces.

Photographs by Rasa Juškevičiūtė capture fragments of the studio building enveloped by a fruit tree garden, and document and reveal evidence of Jonas Prapuolenis’ practice and knowledge – design and craft processes that can be read through singular pieces of furniture stored inside the crumbling wooden structure of the workshop; his material storage and showroom filled with seasoned raw, rough timber pieces; unfinished design components; sketches on paper; bone and amber ornaments; and fine particles of dust accumulated through time. 

Alongside the photographs, an inserted notebook holds contributions written by Kotryna Lingienė and Aistė Dičkalnytė, which study the history of the Studio and offer a wider perspective of Prapuolenis’ life and intentions. Their words unravel layers of slow time and the singular way Prapuolenis worked with materials while reflecting on folkloristic themes and modernist design, the meaning of such heritage and the importance of preserving the Studio.

Jonas Prapuolenis’ homestead, his family home (built in 1925) and the Studio (built in 1936) have been included in the Immovable Property Heritage Register of the Republic of Lithuania since 2011, however, significant wear of the structural elements, roofing and cladding of the Studio require further material protection and measures of conservation to preserve this heritage as a specific inseparable whole.

Neringa Forest Architecture seeks to enhance the ways society negotiates and understands the forest long-term. The project explores the balance between forest industries and biodiversity in the forest space through research and collaborations with cultural practices. It investigates the cultural landscape of the Curonian Spit forests as a case study in the context of the wider region, considering the entanglement of ecologies, representations, colonial and industrial narratives.

The NFA started by diverting timber extracted in the Curonian Spit forest initially designated for biofuel and built a Natural Timber Seasoning Shed at the Nida Art Colony (NAC) of Vilnius Academy of Arts in Nida, it serves as an archive, documenting timber samples, a resource storage and public display of forest histories and planning. 

This local timber resource became the basis of an artistic research residency program at NAC that involves architects, artists, researchers, and journalists. The assembly promotes a wider understanding of the forest environment, by tracing its extractivist industrial practices and processes and their impact on biodiversity. Engagement is seeking wider public awareness and agency to influence decisions in contemporary forest.

From timber collected over three years, NFA built and curated The Children’s Forest Pavilion, Lithuania at the International Architecture Exhibition, la Biennale di Venezia 2023 the installation composed as an educational playscape and conceived to acknowledge the unique approaches of children to observe, draw conclusions, explain the forest,  and understanding that we are part of it. 

Currently Neringa Forest Architecture partners with Dutch Art Institute DAI Roaming Academy, MA in Art Praxis and leads COOP study group FOREST IS LONG_TERM. And later this year NFA will present a new project at arc en rêve centre d’architecture in Bordeaux as part of Season of Lithuania in France 2024.
