Modernist Kaunas: Optimistic Architecture 1919-1939
The site bears witness to the rapid urbanization of Kaunas, from a regional city to a modern metropolis, and its temporary role as the capital of Lithuania between World War I and World War II. Its urban landscape transformation is based on the original layout of the town, with the community as the driving unit. The quality of modern Kaunas is reflected in the spatial layout of the new town and the green district, as well as in the public buildings, urban spaces and residences built during the interwar period. The latter are the expression of the modern movement in the field of urban architecture, showing a variety of styles.
Tianjin Boxer Memorial Hall
The Boxer Rebellion Memorial Hall is located at No. 18, Hejia Hutong, Ruyi'an Street, Hongqiao District, Tianjin. It is a Taoist temple dedicated to Lü Dongbin in the Qing Dynasty. In the 26th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1900 AD), the Boxer Rebellion arose. The famous Boxer leader Cao Futian set up the main altar here, which became the center of the Boxer Rebellion activities at that time. After restoration in 1985, the "Tianjin Boxer Memorial Hall" was established. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Boxer Rebellion is one of the three major revolutions in modern Chinese history. Sun Yat-sen called it a model for the Revolution of 1911, and Premier Zhou Enlai called it "one of the cornerstones of the great victory of the Chinese people fifty years later."
Beijing Nanhaizi Elk Park Museum
Located on the east side of the Nanyuan-Langfang highway in Daxing District, south of Beijing, 14 kilometers from the urban area of Beijing. Elks, commonly known as "four-unlike animals", were originally unique to China, but were discovered by Father David of France in 1865 and have since been transported to Europe. Wild elks in my country have long been extinct, and the last group of them are raised in the Qing Dynasty Royal Hunting Park in Nanhaizi, Beijing. In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance looted frantically, and the hunting park was destroyed in the war, and elks have since become extinct in China. Around 1900, the UK collected 18 elks from some zoos in Europe and released them in Wobon Abbey Park. Now the elk herd has grown to more than 2,000. In 1985, the Marquis of Tavistock of Wobon Abbey Park in the UK returned 20 elks to China. The state has set up a special elk ecological experimental center in Beijing, and set aside nearly 1,000 acres of land to build an elk park. Nanhaizi Elk Park is my country's first elk nature reserve that is mainly raised in a free-range manner. Nanhaizi has rich reeds and muddy swamps, creating a good environment for the elk to live and reproduce. In just 8 years, the number of elk in the Nanhaizi Elk Park has grown from 20 to more than 200, making it the second largest elk park in the world after Wubang Temple Park. Nanhaizi has begun to restore its unique style.
Royal Palaces of Abomey
From 1625 to 1900, 12 kings successively ruled the powerful Kingdom of Abomey. With the exception of King Akaba, who had his own independent palace, the palaces of the other kings were built within the same earthen wall area, consistent with the previous palaces in terms of space and use of materials. The Royal Palace of Abomey is a unique relic of this lost kingdom.
Skogskyrkogården
This Stockholm cemetery was built between 1917 and 1920 by two young architects, Asplund and Lewerentz, on the site of an old gravel pit surrounded by pine trees. The design blends vegetation and architectural elements, using the irregularities of the site to create a landscape that is well adapted to its function and has had a lasting impact in many countries around the world.
Ir.D.F. Woudagemaal (D.F. Wouda Steam Pumping Station)
The Woda pumping station in Leimer, Friesland, was commissioned in 1920. It is the largest steam pumping station ever built and is still in operation today. It represents the culmination of the contribution of Dutch engineers and architects to protecting people and land from the forces of nature.
Tianjin Awakening Society Memorial Hall
Located at No. 49, Sanjieli, Zhouwei Road, Hebei District, Tianjin, it was built in 1919. The Awakening Society was a patriotic group founded by Zhou Enlai, Ma Jun, Guo Longzhen, Liu Qingyang, Deng Yingchao and others on September 16, 1919. In the spirit of "reform" and "innovation", with the purpose of "self-awareness" and "self-determination", it became the pioneer of the anti-imperialist and patriotic movement of the Tianjin people at that time.

Later, it was opened as the Tianjin Awakening Society Memorial Hall. In July 1982, it was announced by the Tianjin Municipal People's Government as a cultural relic protection unit in Tianjin. In July 2012, the Awakening Society Memorial Hall was closed for maintenance and has not been open to the public since then.
