A period of accelerated urbanism in Lithuania has coincided with a slackening of the planning system. This has inevitably unleashed a degree of urban chaos ‐ with individual house‐owners and developers building, largely unchecked, whatever they desire. Amidst this unruly, if burgeoning built environment, Audrys Karalius highlights some significant architectural schemes, many of which pick up the torch of the architects who were designing in Lithuania's formative interwar years.
