VILNIUS TECH Library invite you to explore the unique and one of the largest online audiovisual archives in the field of architecture, "OnArchitecture," which offers comprehensive, high-quality audiovisual content.

Since 2007, the collection has been curated and updated annually, now comprising over 450 videos – including interviews, buildings, and installations.

The "OnArchitecture" interview series consists of more than 150 original conversations with renowned architects, artists, and curators from around the world. During these interviews, creators comment on their work, raise relevant questions, and discuss the role of architecture in contemporary society. Here, you can hear insights from famous architects and get an up-close look at the profession of architecture.

"OnArchitecture" provides the opportunity to see acclaimed architectural works – each building, model, and installation has its own story. Among the featured projects are the impressive Ningbo City Museum (China), the playful Seattle Public Library (USA), the majestic Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo (Brazil), and other notable works.

Therefore, "OnArchitecture" serves as an excellent educational resource – renowned architects, their works, and experiences will broaden the horizons of any user. The videos are categorized by themes and linked for easy navigation through the archive, making information easy. The video content is enriched with useful information about the featured buildings and includes the creators' biographies.

Many architecture schools and universities worldwide use the "OnArchitecture" archive, and it is also accessible to the VILNIUS TECH community. The audiovisual content is available from the VILNIUS TECH computer network and can be accessed from home via VPN.
