KONCEPTAS

Lower Nemunas terrace is a potential social and cultural evolvement spot of Kaunas city. The new M. K. Čiurlionis concert center is projected in a strategic part of Kaunas city which is linked to historic part of the city, Žalgiris arena and Science center, plus it is directly linked to the northern Nemunas shore bank which will provide a significant impulse converting the remaining industrial buildings. Project territory is based along Minkovskiu street which separates territory from residential area. Project concept was based on not only development of public spaces for the city, but on ideological connection between historic city center and new developments along northern coast and Nemunas island. The new concert center could become a linking point witch in the future could evolve in a circular public system along Nemunas river utilising both sides of the river.

​

One of the main bases of the project was not only provide a effective and inspiring architectural and functional solution, but create a healthy integration of a huge volume into a delicate natural environment, providing innovative and dynamic public connections and spaces. Interior structure of the building was developed to provide inspiring spaces not only for visitors and working staff, but also insure maximum functionality and provide a possibility of housing simultaneously several cultural venues.
