OVEN PAVILION, Cultural Complex SODAS 2123, Vitebsko Str. 21-23, Vilnius
The Oven Pavilion is an interactive architectural sculpture that functions as a localised public space for community gatherings, education, cultural events, and more. The work is a collaboration between interdisciplinary artist Kamilė Krasauskaitė and architects Ona Lozuraitytė and Petras Išora. The structure brings together the ideas of all three creators, blending functionality with sensitivity to the surrounding environment. It unites the oven itself, the architectural pavilion built around it, and the shared space it generates – forming a dynamic and inviting social hub.
