Abstract [eng] The Final Master Project involves with research work on new energy harvesting technologies, its construction methodologies, and applying them as constructions by utilizing the land area in the Nemunas River Island Park where a Science Museum is proposed to be constructed. The thesis reviews various literatures supporting the ideas of different innovative energy harvesting technologies such as Photovoltaic dome, Photovoltaic Trees, Photovoltaic Floor, Wind Energy Trees, Piezoelectric Rain Farm, Luminescent roads and their present scenarios in various countries around the globe in the first part of the work. It then explains the methodology of their construction technologies and energy harvesting calculations in the second part. In the third part, the research work implies the application of the said energy harvesting elements as constructions on a real time project around Science Island Museum in the Nemunas River Island, Kaunas City. The real time application takes into account the surrounding area of the proposed museum in the Nemunas River Island for installation of innovative renewable energy harvesting structures through Landscape architecture. These structures are proposed as a part of the exterior Science Island Museum project. Three different layouts, 3D model of the landscape, Energy calculations and the cost estimation analysis were presented in the third part. The thesis work concludes with the application of the research work as a proposal in the Science Island Park area with their total energy calculations showing a significant role in powering up the park area of the proposed Science Island Museum.
