Item Restricted Train Stations as Destination of Their Own.exploring Spatial Strategies to Revive Functional Bt Disregarded Lithuanian Train Stations(2022) Rasa Vereniūtė; Martín, Javier; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This bachelor thesis focuses on the role of disregarded train stations in small and mid-sized towns in Lithuania, with the aim of identifying spatial strategies to revitalize these stations and make them relevant againches The thesis recognizes the decline in railway popularity due to advancing technology, alternative means of transportation, and digitalization across sectors. The research investigates the impact of these changes on train stations, their underutilization, and unattractiveness. However, it also acknowledges the potential of train stations as cultural heritage sites with regenerative qualities. The methodology employed in this thesis includes a comprehensive literature review on the evolution of railway transport, particularly in Lithuania, emphasizing the broad-gauge railways and the architectural features of Lithuanian railway stations. The thesis explores contemporary design challenges faced by stations in smaller and medium-sized cities, assesses typological changes, and examines tendencies in station reprogramming. Additionally, the thesis discusses adaptive reuse strategies and tactics, providing insight into tools that architects and designers can employ in accommodating new programs within station designs. Given the predominance of Lithuanian-language literature on Lithuanian railways and stations, the author will translate the relevant sources for analysis. Keywords: train stations, revitalization, spatial strategies, cultural heritage, railway transport, typological change, adaptive reuse, Lithuanian railways
