BLUMA is a Vilnius-based urban design and architecture agency focused on green infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and the planning of more resilient cities. Its own materials describe it as a nature-based design agency working with cities, people, and nature, with an emphasis on making urban environments more supportive for people and better adapted to environmental change.124
The organisation’s work combines strategic planning, design, research, and community engagement. According to its website and LinkedIn profile, BLUMA develops green infrastructure recommendations and greening strategies, designs landscape and green infrastructure elements, carries out research and analysis, and produces workshops, educational activities, visual communication, publications, and experimental projects.4 Its stated principles include mimicking natural processes in urban areas, measuring project progress with objective methods, and involving communities in implementation.1
BLUMA also appears to work on public-facing initiatives that connect environmental planning with city development. On its website, it references projects such as green space prioritisation in Vilnius, sustainable future cities, and a green index.1 A conference page shows that BLUMA has organized an event in Kaunas aimed at introducing local stakeholders to green infrastructure and sharing practices from several European countries, indicating that its work extends beyond Vilnius and has at least a broader national scope within Lithuania.8
The company’s public business records list Gintarė Kapočiūtė as the managing partner/leader, and her profile on the BLUMA website identifies her as a partner and architect.56 The company registration record gives its office address in Vilnius.5 Based on the available information, BLUMA was operating by at least 2022, but the exact founding year is not explicitly stated in the provided sources.15
