Gintaras Česonis “The Modernity of Rear Facades”

“In the history of architecture, the 1920s was marked by an explosion of modernist ideas. In a short period of time, avant-garde forms spread throughout the world while at the same time acquiring different local expressions. Signs of modernism can be found in nearly every large city<…>
Despite the changes having been inspired by universal images of modernity, in each city a unique architectural environment was formed. Among the most significant features of Kaunas architecture is a particular interplay between tradition and novelty.”
