VILNIUS CONGRESS CENTRE

Com­pe­ti­ti­on ent­ry by CMC & WXCA

The Vil­ni­us Con­gress Cent­re is con­cei­ved as a public archi­tec­tu­ral land­scape — a civic ter­rain whe­re archi­tec­tu­re, natu­re, and urban life mer­ge to crea­te an open envi­ron­ment for mee­ting, exch­an­ge, and crea­ti­vi­ty. Desi­gned in a rege­ne­ra­ti­ve spi­rit, the pro­ject streng­thens the eco­lo­gi­cal, social, and eco­no­mic vita­li­ty of the city while estab­li­shing a vibrant public desti­na­ti­on along the Neris river­front.

„The pro­ject is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by a clear and coher­ent archi­tec­tu­ral idea – _the con­gress cent­re is trea­ted as a public archi­tec­tu­ral land­scape, in which the buil­ding, roof, ter­races and gree­n­ery form a com­mon spa­ti­al sys­tem. The aim to inte­gra­te land­scape and sus­taina­bi­li­ty solu­ti­ons, the con­nec­tion of the ter­race struc­tu­re with the Neris coast, the idea of a hybrid con­s­truc­tion of wood and con­cre­te, and the aim to inte­gra­te green roofs and rain­wa­ter coll­ec­tion solu­ti­ons are posi­tively app­re­cia­ted.” (Excerpt from the jury’s assess­ment)
