#APPENDIX:
After a month of falling into the sciences and holding the first meeting, mentioning the formation
of the group in the Vokieciu g. In Vilnius, more and more fiercely to join our four future
work, we meet with Gytis October 14th. From now on, future meetings will be further refined
on Saturdays, taking into account the convenient time for all of our group members.
The meeting starts at ten o’clock in the morning, but Pipiras and Žilviai are already late; they
are enjoying the trip and in the good future they will visit Elektrnai for a cup of coffee and tobacco,
and look at the future work.
Coming soon BrainStorm starts soon. Let’s review what everyone did in a week. Žilvinas suggests,
by showing his created collages, that it is an idea to use neglected ventilator breathtakers
of Vilnius hideouts with an attractive look and feel as a lighthouse to show the coziness
and concern for people on the street who have no place to return to and where.
Gytis and Giorgi have already prepared a short video on YouTube, which shows the comic
nature of the situation by misleading people’s thinking and understanding. The idea, the idea,
adapt a concept similar to a future project, a mild form of masking the “Human” as an absurdly
understood or accomplished subject.
“BrainStorm” is coming to its forehead, it starts to name just about the head-to-head: the
world and white mythology, the creation of the world, the mystery of eggs, the trinity, the number
three, its repeated in Lithuanian literature, Christianity, and Baltic mythology. This implies
the idea that three dimensions should be depicted: who we were, who we are and who we are,
or where we can go from the current point of view.
A lunch break, a food order, a thick Japanese whiskey, which was pulled out of a jar from the
bar for pleasure and a little indulgence to the pipe tobacco, along with the bee no doubt.
In the afternoon there are some ideas that some worthy of greater attention are illustrated by
hand on paper. Several possible places are selected for implementation of the project, they
will discuss what works until the next Saturday, and agree on the tenth hour. from morning to

RESEARCH
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Lighthouse of Alexandria, sometimes called
the Pharos of Alexandria , was a lighthouse built
by the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 280 and
247 BC which was in the region of 100 metres in
overall height.[1] One of the Seven Wonders of
the Ancient World, for many centuries it was one
of the tallest man-made structures in the world.
Badly damaged by three earthquakes between
AD 956 and 1323, it then became an abandoned
ruin. It was the third longest surviving ancient
wonder (after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
and the extant Great Pyramid of Giza) until
1480, when the last of its remnant stones were
used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay on the site.
In 1994, French archaeologists discovered some
remains of the lighthouse on the floor of Alexandria’s
Eastern Harbour.[2] The Ministry of State
of Antiquities in Egypt has planned, as of late
2015, to turn submerged ruins of ancient Alexandria,
including those of the Pharos, into an
underwater museum

CONCLUSIONS
3 # Protocol
• The next meeting with Pipir is announced on Saturday, 10:00. In Kaunas, the information will
be supplemented in the course of the week.
• Distributed Works Overview:
Pepper: Who we were, who we are, and how can we become + the number of three mityness
+ myths,
The symbolism of the lighthouse, the symbol of strength and permanence, the symbolic lighthouse
is close to the star,
Number three: Divine Trinity, Balts Myths, Lithuanian folk tales, Christian and secular triads:
http://www.mitai.lt/
Gytis: the specificity of the light, what is the difference between light and night, the lighthouse
typology, human reaction, personal horizontal and vertical interaction in space, the use of
Agro film
Georgi: Information Dissemination, Technology, Transmission, Alexandria Lighthouse
Žilvinas: Savilaičiai water storage, the main idea that people would leave some kind of particle
or object.
Forget new places, make collages in your imaginary places
• Conclusions:
Giorgi: Trinity idea, send light / message to someone, find a space to work
Žilvinas: I was talking about the idea of ​an egg, sending messages to the universe, uniting the
idea of ​the Trinity with Who We were, who we are and where we are going, and the light play
Antanas: Transmission of the Trinity as a message, and Zilvinas thought that everyone should
come and leave something
Gytis: To send an object to space, as well as to have knowledge about humanity good and
bad, and to improve the idea of ​the Golden Record

#APPENDIX:
We meet with Giorgi to further develop the idea. Within a week, each member of the group
was seized to collect as much information as possible by filtering out the most important and
interesting of the most interesting topics offered during BrainStorm. A deeper, more concentrated
analysis was conducted. The third protocol is now being completed in a circle to be
completed by everyone.
By the end of the day, a work plan is decided to look at what we did not do in a week, to rethink
ideas, to analyze areas - places where the project can be implemented. Each member
briefly presents the basic facts found, the most important information, and then goes on to the
circle, who says what he likes most, not only in his work, but also in others.
While Giorgi is doing all the lunch, the discussion moves to the kitchen. Made in Italian pasta
with red wine sauce. The food is cooked for two hours, it’s important to have a good bake
paste. During this time, there is a fierce debate - a small controversy in the defense of the
topics that you like - ideas.
In the afternoon, whoever likes most is made up, written and finalized. The next steps are the
stage of project implementation, form and location search. Plans A, B, and C are made with
scripts if you do not get any ideas.
Plan A: Implement the project in the reservoir of the Vilnius reservoir, to understand the subtleties
Plan B: Implement the project with light German g. or Neris quays
Plan C: Choose a place and implement the idea of ​disseminating information at the VGTU Faculty
of Architecture.

CONCEPT
Lighthouse as social experiment:
• Lighthouse serves as information center for homeless people.
• Lighthouse is a spot to take away food, clothes and other charity stuff.
• Homeless people would never contact directly to people who contribute. (Just like a
lighthouse doesn’t have contact with ships, its more like a guidline.)
• Based on author J.Biliūnas „Laimės žiburys“ shortstory (people sacrifice themselves to
achieve better life for others).
• Even if the :charity lighthouse: will be broken, or stolen, it‘s still an experiment.
• Negative result is also result.
• Homeless people as lost ships, and social lighthouse could change their life, show the
right way.
• Social lighthouse not as final result, but a process, where every person who contribute
is lighthouse keeper.

Good day,
Rammond
introduce us
University: VGTU. Department of Architecture.
the trustee: Kęstutis Lupeikis, Lada Markejevaitė.
Students: Žilvinas Stasiulevičius, Gytis Vidžiūnas, Antanas Pipiras, Giorgi Nishnianidze.
We write about the possibilities of installing artistic installation in Liepkalnis water storage,
taking advantage of the interior space of this water storage, without physically abusing or
violating it.
Before proceeding with the project, we could provide information on:
• Required permissions for the facility;
• conditions for the implementation of the concept;
• What additional requirements could arise?
We would like to receive information:
• how long it takes to receive permits;
• whether project proposals for obtaining a permit are needed;
• What should we submit from the university.
Our activities are planned to be carried out by simple means, without prejudice to the current
state of the item.
Waiting for your reply.
Have a nice day.
Thanks.

Subject: RE: Due to the possibility to install installation in Liepkalnis water storage
To: Žilvinas Stasiulevičius <zilvinas.stasiulevicius@stud.vgtu.lt>
Good day, Zilvinas
We are glad to be interested in our water storage. We open it twice a year, in spring and in
autumn. To date, it has been an open door, so that we can show the widest possible coverage
to the public at the lowest cost.
Other projects have not yet been made available, but whatever the need arises, if the ideas
meet our expectations, we would try to consider. I’m trying to answer your questions and at
the same time check in. I think it’s best to chat with you, because your phone. no. Not specified,
I would wait for your call.
Before launching the project, you could provide information on:
• Required permissions for the facility; - What do you mean by “permissions”? The object is
freed, cleaned, prepared by the colleagues and then disinfected and connected to the system;
This is a costly process, so we have set just two days of open days per year.
• conditions for the implementation of the concept; - what concept? Maybe you can tell more
about the type of space you are looking for? What ideas do you use? Have you been inside
Acquainted that there is no lighting inside, the generator is needed and so on.
• What additional requirements could arise? - what type of installation? What topic? Thinking
for a few days

KALEIDOSCOPES
• The analysis of the kaleidoscope gave an initial
perception of how the physics behaved in
the way of images distortion, as it set out the
basic principles of physics.
• Observation of the abundance of these devices
and review of diversity freed thought of
the creative process of finding volume expressions.

MATERIALS
• At first It was decided to use wood, pine
beams and glued panels (OSB) for the initial
construction material.
but as a result of more detailed analysis of the
material, we understood it was not sustainable
to use wooden construction, because our aim
was to save our resources. After that it was
decided to work with cardboard.
Light house Interior requires reflective light and
reflective mirror material to express the main
idea, several options was tested including
chrome spray, but at the end most effective
result was provided by mylar light reflective
sheets.

FORM
Through the process of form finding we had
couple of ideas, most characteristic was this
three ideas, form resembling an egg, water
droplet and star, latest was allegory about the
northern star, guide of travellers since ancient
times,
mysticism of an egg was expressing seamless
surface self-contained object without any
corners.
Water as scientifically is the sign of life, inspired
as to create shape like its crystal.
Idea of Star was abandoned because of it’s
pretentious, questioning form
The egg shape did not support our concept
much at the end so it was abandoned as well.
Finally we decided to go with idea of water
crystal and develop it in to more conceptual
original form.

STRUCTURE
at the beginning the pine beam was an initial
bearing structure, on top of it we would attach
cheap board sheets.
• The analysis of lacquer and fixing joints
has been observed as difficult to make. The
wood should be joined with metal rings, which
in some ways requires (welding fixing with
screws, making joints).
• wood as a structural material takes time and
is not sufficiently sustainable and environmentally
friendly.
• By connecting the cardboard panels with
special joints, a basic structure works as a
shell.

IDEA
the common thoughts of our team is presented
in a clean, solid form, which symbolizes and
represents Ideas: the creation of the world, the
mystery of the egg, the droplet of water as the
beginning of life, the mystical number three in
Lithuanian literature, the Christian trinity, the
Baltic mythology, “who we were, what we are
and where we go with that”.
during the process we had many ideas but
in the end it was crystallised in to one object
which symbolises the light house.
The project is dualism between internal and
external. Exterior as a massive, fundamentally
brutal, minimal, iconic object, on the contrary
interior creates personal intimate space.
