Sitting on the top of Tauras Hill Park along a key cultural axis in Lithuania’s capital city, the proposed National Concert Hall takes advantage of the crucial urban condition and transforms the Park Slope into a new civic center - a Concert Hall that relinks the urban fabrics and unlocks the urban potential. The architecture is considered as a continuation of the Park Slope with seamless connection between the foyer and the surrounding landscape, offering welcoming access to the visitors with or without the concert ticket during the day and the night. Taking the idea of creating a contemporary “People’s House”, different types of performative and educational space are organized together on a base of a giant stairway along the park slope, turning a Concert Hall into a multi-functional urban space. Five major spaces are tailored into various events across artistic disciplines - an outdoor amphitheater, an indoor educational auditorium, a major hall for formal symphony, a small hall adjustable to different genres of performances, and a lobby space that can organize various gatherings.
