Defensive Landscapes
A Military Outpost in Lithuania
This project investigates how landscape can be re-introduced as a defensive typology. Positioning landscape as a form of power and control rather than a passive background. The theoretical framework, that goes in depth about defence theory, historical landscape-based defence strategies, and biological defence mechanisms, function as the backbone of this project. The research focuses on the Lithuanian landscape, where forests, wetlands, and water networks historically played an important role in territorial defence but are currently underused or treated as obstacles within contemporary military planning. The project aims to develop a military base design that integrates landscape as defensive typology. The project positions architectural design as a mediator between landscape systems and contemporary defence needs, proposing an alternative approach to military architecture that is embedded within the landscape.
