The 新澳门六合彩内幕信息alumni-supported design entry harnesses the natural materials of the region, allusions to the light and movement of Ciurlionis' paintings, public open space, and a commitment to sustainability.
More About the Design Entry
The life and legacy of Mikalojus Konstantinas 膶iurlionis entwined with the Lithuanian culture and people of the past through today are the foundation of what is to become the Kaunas M.K. Ciurlionis Concert Centre. As the new lungs of the city, the center will sit lightly on the banks of the Nemunas River. Falling within the viewshed of Old Town Kaunas, the site will be an integral part of the urban fabric.
A place for everyone, the Centre will be the point where community and culture perform a harmonious marriage. Connecting to the left bank, science island and the surrounding districts, the Cultural Center will be known as the place where the city breaths. A place of knowledge and ideas, Kaunas's Concert Center will inspire throughout Europe of what it means to live in the Baltic State.
