In spring of 2005 Kaunas city became a partner in the project "Baltic Fort Route" of the program INTERREG IIIB BSR financed by the European Union. The aim of the project is preservation and effective adaptation of fortress territories for tourism. On the other hand, it should be observed that free land areas in Kaunas and around it are being intensively assimilated what may do damage to the defence objects of Kaunas Fortress and thus deteriorate their visual significance. The limits of landscape modifications should be clearly determined. During the construction process of the Fortress the peculiarities of the geomorphological system and hydrographic net of Kaunas environs were well explored and considered. The whole landscape of Kaunas environs was reconstructed according to the needs of the Fortress. The defence objects of the Fortress still have a great effect on the landscape of the city and its surrounding territories. Major part of the territories of the Fortress objects were turned into the areas of green plantation. According to the visual influence of the forts and fortifications on the environment, the mentioned objects may be divided into groups. The author presents proposals on the management of the defence objects and areas of green plantation of the Fortress that could provide for maximal possibilities in respecting their authentic view. Kraštovaizdžio pritaikymas ir pertvarkymas statant Kauno tvirtovę Santrauka Kauno miestas dalyvauja Europos Sąjungos finansuojamoje programoje Interreg III B BSR projekte "Baltijos tvirtovių kultūrinio turizmo kelias". Projekto tikslas – išsaugoti ir efektyviai panaudoti tvirtovių teritorijas turizmui. Tuo pat metu Kaune ir jo apylinkėse vis intensyviau užstatomi dar laisvi žemės plotai. Svarbu žinoti, kiek galima keisti miesto apylinkių kraštovaizdį, kad nenukentėtų tvirtovės gynybiniai objektai ir jų vizualinė reikšmė. Statant tvirtvę buvo atsižvelgta į Kauno apylinkių geomorfologinės sruktūros ir hidrografinio tinklo ypatybes. Tvirtovės reikmėms pertvarkytas visas Kauno apylinkių kraštovaizdis. Tvirtovės gynybiniai objektai ir dabar turi didelės reikšmės miesto ir aplinkinių teritorijų kraštovaizdžiui. Dauguma tvirtovės objektų teritorijų apaugo savaimine augalija. Pagal fortų ir įtvirtinimų vizualinę įtaką aplinkai šiuos objektus galima suskirstyti į grupes. Pateikiami siūlymai, kaip tvarkyti tvirtovės gynybinius objektus ir žėlinius, kad būtų sudarytos maksimalios galimybės respektuoti autentišką jų vaizdą.

The remains of the fortifications of Kaunas Fortress represent nonutilized urban and architectural potential at various levels of Kaunas cityscape. Single fortifications and the whole Kaunas Fortress as a system are analysed in the paper within the context of Kaunas cityscape. Analysis is made from the following points of view: urban frame, natural frame, mental city image and four types of cultural symbols of the cityscape-text. Principal suggestions for utilization of the system of former fortifications in Kaunas are presented. The work could serve as a methodological example for similar investigations in other fortresses within urban areas. Santrauka Straipsnyje kompleksiškai analizuojamas architektūrinis-urbanistinis Kauno tvirtovės išlikusių gynybinių objektų ir jų sistemos potencialas. Pavieniai Kauno tvirtovės objektai ir išlikusi jų sistema tiriami kaip gamtinio karkaso, urbanistinio karkaso ir mentalinio miesto vaizdo dalys bei analizuojami kaip potencialūs keturių tipų kultūriniai miestovaizdžio-teksto simboliai. Pateikiami principiniai siūlymai, kaip panaudoti šį potencialą miesto reikmėms. Straipsnyje formuojami principiniai metodologiniai pagrindai kompleksiškam urbanistiniam panašių objektų vertinimui.

The article focuses on the evaluation of architectural-urban potential of military architecture in the contemporary cityscape. Kaunas and Alytus fortresses were chosen for analysis. Evaluation of the potential was performed in two steps. The first step: potential of the locations of the former fortified objects was identified. Space syntax analysis of the axial maps of Kaunas and Alytus was used as the main tool for evaluation of the potential of sites. The second step: inner structure of the objects was analyzed on the base of the maps of convex spaces. In a result attempt to identify potential significance of the fortified objects for the city or its neighborhoods was made. On the base of analysis of convex spaces the archetypical architectural patterns for the each object were named. They can be used as a background for architectural interpretation and scenario making for utilization of the analyzed objects.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.1.1.2611
