Birute Lelkiene

I am an architect and urban planner, highly interested in social, economical and environmental topics related to the urban planning and design in general. At this moment I am doing internship in COBE Berlin (interdisciplinary architectural/urban design office).

Which side are you on?
low

What is your interest in high & low?
As an architect and urban planner I am constantly overthinking the nature and aims of design and the qualities it can provide. In general, I think that luxury goods/design is always on the demand, although it very often gets inspiration from the lower culture, real life situations, is based on the needs of the simple needs of the people. So, my personal interest is related to the current trends in digital technologies and how this is influencing the lifestyles of the people and environmental.
