Reconnecting with nature

Flytevi is one of the first rings on the water to foster sustainable urban communities by harnessing the potential of water. Using an innovative approach, Flytevi demonstrates how urban coastal areas can cultivate alternative food sources, while improving both living conditions and water quality. Flytevi is also used as a space for community creation and educational initiatives placing food, seas and people at the centre. Urban greening should not be limited to land but extend to water as well.

The recreation area "Nad Dzherelom" (Over the source) is part of the Unbroken Mothers complex, which in turn is an element of the Unbroken ecosystem. Unbroken is a response of the city to the challenges of war. "Nad Dzherelom" project aimed to restore an abandoned natural area for social integration of internally displaced persons with the local community while preserving the ecosystem and biodiversity.

#ItIsNotTooLate Seagrass Beds is an eco-activist project for preservation and valorisation of seagrass as a source of marine life. Through research and knowledge transfer, public eco-actions and art installation, we aim to raise awareness of the local community and tourists about the importance of sea plants, create a lasting impact on the quality of life of the fish stock and the ecosystem, and build a sense of shared responsibility for the regeneration of our common natural environment.

Neringa Forest Architecture is a cultural platform to interrelate extraction, biodiversity, and sustainability in the forest space through cultural and architectural praxis to enhance the ways society senses, understands, and negotiates processes in the forest environment. 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.
