The Flows of Nemu

Located in Kaunas’ Nemunaičiai Quarter, the project transforms a disused riverfront into an active civic edge. It proposes a network of adaptable green corridors that host cultural events, recreation, and everyday life. By linking river ecology with urban regeneration, the design strengthens community identity and long-term livability.

Description:

The masterplan is structured around a series of flows—parallel landscape bands that alternate between natural and civic functions. Each band defines a unique spatial rhythm, from floodable meadows and walkways to plazas and event terraces. This layered structure allows the district to coexist with changing water levels, turning ecological processes into public experience.

At once infrastructural and poetic, The Flows of Nemunaičiai redefines the relationship between city and river. Local materials, seasonal planting, and hydrological design ensure adaptability and resilience. The project envisions the riverfront as a living organism—absorbing, filtering, and hosting life—while creating a cultural landscape for future generations.
