How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?

Featured Project Name:
National Concert Hall
Featured Project Location:
Vilnius, Lithuania
Featured Project Completion Date:
Unbuilt
Role in Featured Project:
Design Lead in group of 5 peers constituting the competition team
Featured Project Description:
Our proposal for the new National Concert hall is a collection of moments analogous to the City of Vilnius. Rather than create a singular monolith, we fragmented individual parts of the program, giving each its own expression and weaving “streets” into this assemblage. Our aim is to design a concert hall that creates a new public space for the city and is part of a network of cultural institutions that connect Old town to the riverfront.
