Modernist Kaunas: Architecture of Optimism, 1919-1939
This property testifies to the rapid urbanization that transformed the provincial town of Kaunas into a modern city that became Lithuania’s provisional capital between the First and Second World Wars. Its community-driven transformation of an urban landscape was adapted from an earlier town layout. The quality of modern Kaunas was manifested through the spatial organization of the Naujamiestis (New Town) and Žaliakalnis (Green Hill) areas, and in public buildings, urban spaces and residences constructed during the interwar period that demonstrate a variety of styles in which the Modern Movement found architectural expression in the city.
现代主义的考纳斯：1919-1939年的乐观主义建筑
这处遗产地见证了考纳斯的迅速城市化，从区域城市转变为现代都市，并在一战和二战之间担当立陶宛的临时首都。其城市景观改造以城镇原始布局为基础，以社区为推动单元。现代考纳斯的品质体现在新城区和青山区的空间布局，以及在战间期建造的公共建筑、城市空间和住宅。后者是现代运动在城市建筑领域的表达，呈现多样化的风格。
