Summary
MKČ karūna is a sculptural public-space installation that acts as a small architectural object and meeting place.
Vilnius Academy of Arts, third-year spring assignment, group work with Kultūros naktis.
Brief
In a group, create a public-space installation for Vilnius in collaboration with Kultūros naktis.
Design challenge
The object needed to become a distinctive public landmark that adds cultural meaning to Vilnius while offering a quieter place to stop, meet, and experience the city.
01
Spatial concept
The semicircular structure forms a partially enclosed place to pause, meet, and experience the city more calmly.
02
Čiurlionis connection
The composition is inspired by M. K. Čiurlionis, especially the painting “Karalių pasaka,” where vertical rays, light and shadow, and a sacred mood create a mystical atmosphere.
03
Public accent
The installation translates this painterly character into contemporary public space through dense and sparse verticals that create a visual pulse.
