The Concert Hall is located on the Tauras Hill, a place with a long history embedded, which has seen Vilnius's development all along. We wanted our design to honor the significance of such a cultural spot in the history of the city meanwhile serve the local community. The pedestrianized hill area is an ever-flowing network of urban parks, leading up to the Concert Hall. This provides an interactive hub for people to engage in public activities. This is beyond a solo Concert Hall, but a dynamic proposal that considers future initiatives and delivers the flexibility to the city.
