在1919-1939年的政治环境下,考纳斯曾作为立陶宛临时首都。处于政治、经济和文化事件中心的这20年,很大程度上影响了今天的城市身份。这段建设高峰期留下了一批杰出的建筑作品,见证了现代主义和民族浪漫主义独一无二的融合。如考纳斯这样的城市,为20世纪现代主义建筑史增加了一个重要案例:作为地方精神与现代主义运动的国际性观念的混合体。考纳斯的例子启发我们将目光投向标志性建筑之外,将现代主义理解为一种更加广博的现象,呈现为一群具有独特精神之场所的集合。

Because of the political circumstances from 1919 to 1939, the city of Kaunas had a status of provisional capital of Lithuania. Two decades of being at the epicentre of political, economic and cultural events contributed much to the creation of the city＇s identity.

Such places as Kaunas bring into the history of modern architecture of the 20th century an example of mixture between local sprit and international ideas of Modern Movement. Kaunas suggests to look beyond iconic buildings and to understand modernism as much broader phenomenon which reveals as a ccollection of places with unique spirit.
