Quarry-Like Park Designs

Ararte's Park in Jurbarkas Comprises Irregular Concrete Steps

— October 31, 2016 — Art & Design
Lithuanian architecture firm Ararte's park in Jurbarkas is reminiscent of artificial geographical features like steppes or quarries. The park incorporates sharp and obtusely angled concrete volumes that cohere the wild space into usable public areas for the residents of the small Lithuanian town.

Ararte's Jurbarkas park is divided roughly into three zones. The "hillock place" is a tiny and secluded area that intrepid wanderers can find by following a white and black concrete path. The "chamber place" provides interesting volumes for children to climb and play on while also offering seating and grassy knolls for parents to read and relax. The main feature of the park, though, is the massive, abstract staircase and seating area at the center.
Trend Themes
1. Irregular Concrete Designs - The growing demand for unique concrete designs where traditional and plain designs do not meet the client's requirements, presenting opportunities for innovative designers and artists to create unique designs.
2. Urban Park Designs - The use of innovative architecture and designs in public spaces and urban parks, like Ararte's Jurbarkas park, presents opportunities for architects and designers to create interactive and eco-friendly spaces for communities to gather and enjoy.
3. Functional Public Spaces - Innovative public spaces that add value to the community, like Ararte's Jurbarkas park, present opportunities for architects and designers to create functional spaces that can be used for various activities by all members of a community.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture Industry - The architecture industry stands to benefit from innovative designs for public spaces that incorporate unique materials and creative solutions that allow for eco-friendliness, complement the natural environment and improves communities.
2. Construction Industry - The construction industry stands to benefit from innovative concrete designs and architecture that offer new and unique challenges, and create sustainable, functional, and visually appealing public spaces and residential homes.
3. Real Estate Industry - The real estate industry stands to benefit from innovative designs and architecture that create beautiful, eco-friendly public spaces and housing. Unique and creative designs can add value to the surrounding environment, and attract homebuyers and businesses looking for quality, artistic space.
