Tower of Dawn
Vilnius
2017
This monument is not only a physical structure but also a symbolic symbol that reflects not only the legacy of Jonas Basanavičius but also our own aspirations and values.
Right in the heart of Vilnius, at the beginning of Aušros Vartų Street, rises the "Aušra Tower" - not only as an architectural object but also as a symbolic monument to freedom and knowledge. This tower becomes a kind of city beacon, attracting attention and inviting people inside.
The monument consists of several layers, reflecting different meanings. From the open square to the green volumes, from the "Aušra" Tower to the memorial-historical dimension, everything is balanced to create an integrated and inspiring ensemble.
The main accent of the monument is the "Aušra" Tower, which not only visually resembles a column but also symbolizes the patriarchal multi-layered legacy and power. The meanings of this tower are multifaceted and invite people to turn to their roots and values.
The entrance to the monument is from the northeast, as if inviting to start a journey towards light and the world of knowledge. The staircase not only attracts attention but also symbolizes spiritual growth and cognition.
On the outer side of the monument, there is a dedication and gratitude, reminding of Jonas Basanavičius' contribution to a free Lithuania. On the inner side, there is a mini museum and graphic exposition that immortalizes history and encourages reflection on the past.
The entire monument is not only an architectural wonder but also a cultural symbol that encourages people to turn to their roots, promotes knowledge and growth, and reminds us of the importance of freedom and knowledge. It is a place where the past, present, and future meet, and people are invited to participate in this dialogue space.
