Jonas Žukauskas is an architect, researcher and curator based in Vilnius; one of the founders of Kirvarpa publishing initiative, Neringa forest Architecture Project, Talka talka architecture practice.

Since 2014 Jonas has worked with Jurga Daubaraitė to research the histories and materialities of colonisations and modernisations through which the built environment, infrastructures, extraction networks were deployed to shape the geographies and culture of the Baltic States, now integral part of the European Project. In this context they research, propose spatial concepts and create architectural projects.

Together they curated the exhibition The Baltic Material Assemblies at AA Gallery and RIBA (2018), were co-curators of Children’s Forest Pavilion in Venice Architecture biennale (2023), The Baltic Pavilion in Venice Architecture biennale (2016), and were co-editors of The Baltic Atlas published by Sternberg (2016) among other projects.
