The eco-movement, spreading across the world, requires a new evaluation of priorities for the objectives of the three architectural directions (buildings, cities (urban development) and landscape architecture) including social and environmental responsibility. The ecological direction is not new to Lithuania, but due to former political isolation the West still knows very little about that. Lithuanian (now Kaunas University of Technology) Institute of Architecture and Construction in Kaunas (LASMI) has become and still is a scientific and ecologically oriented design centre (especially for resorts, recreation and tourism areas, national parks) of this direction. Research work and practical conceptual projects started yet in 1961-1963. The results are summarized in the author's doctoral and habilitation dissertations and books (Stauskas 1967, 1977, 1985, 2012) and in the works by other students of this school, now working in Vilnius, Klaipėda and elsewhere.In architecture of buildings a time has come to review their architectural quality assessment. Yet in 1981, the World Congress of Architecture in Warsaw adopted a new definition of architecture itself - as the art and science of shaping the environment - suitable for all areas of architectural activities (instead of the classical definition of architecture as "the art of building"). An architect faces an increased responsibility to spatially synthesize blocks of specific needs and shapes of three influencing environments – social, natural and technogenic – thereby also striving for artistic value. This is especially important in recreational architecture, where the environmental impact to people is particularly sensitive (Stauskas 1977, 2012).Ecological approach can mean that the artistic value of the building's facade is no longer the most important quality category. On a scale of values, the quality of the building's social content solution would appear in the first place. Then would go the aesthetic quality of the building's shapes; the interaction between ...

When discussing the priorities and leverage in urban development, we usually use such concepts as "economic potential", "financial investment", "a great quantity of constructions", etc. However, the final result should in fact strive for human happiness, health, love for your city, wish to live there. The urban structure of a city always contains a system of open green spaces. These areas are important not only from green spaces. These areas are important not only from ecological and aesthetical point of view, but also for social communication as well as raising the economic value of plots. The paper, giving an example of contemporary development of the resort of Palanga, deals with tendencies and problems resulting from the privatization process and great mistakes in locating urbanized plots in the areas of the Lithuanian seaside. The areas, which in the Master Plan are foreseen for new parks, forests and hydroparks, started to be used for construction of private buildings. Generally, in Lithuania not only resort areas, but also any open spaces and even outer wood areas suffer from a bad tendency to treat them exceptionally as potential plots for building construction. In the case of Palanga we meet with the danger of continuous urbanization of the seaside, what consequently means decrease of the quality of the resort as well as fall in land prices in future. Progressive examples from foreign countries and the European Union directives are given, where the quantity of green areas in a city is considered as one of the most important criteria of its modernity and quality. The paper is based on a continuous experience of the author and on the recent work at Institute of Architecture and Contruction on the impact of land privatization on land prices and urban development. Reasonable balance between private and public interests is nesessary, and we still lack it.
