Selected collaborating organisations and “digital champions” will gain understanding of digital strategies during the project and become “ambassadors” of digital transformations in the architecture.
“Digital champions” of Kaunas – Evaldas Vilkončius and Huriye Armağan Doğan, using given archives are about to create a broad modernist city map throughout the project. In the building list – as many as 300 objects from 20th century located in Kaunas city and its’ district. The selection include a wide range of various function buildings – from private residential houses to administrative and commercial objects.
All the information collected by the “digital champions” will be uploaded to a virtual and open archive of architecture – the FOMA page, where other professionals and enthusiasts will be able to contribute to the collection of data on 20th century buildings.
