Erläuterungstext
The volume is outstanding due to its exceptional location: it is a building – peninsula, that conceptually belongs to both river banks. The site and character of the building is conceived as urban and landscape balance for Nemunas island and its Žalgiris Arena. This also enables the approximation of the volume closer to the old town and placement of the park closer to the existing and future inhabitants of Aleksotas. The volume occupies only minimal space on the western edge of the plot and does not exceed the height limits.
The identity of the left riverside is shaped by the different topographical layers. We respect this feature of riverside composition while zoning the plot.
A harbour for small ships is a bonus to the required program and improves accessibility of KKC. It also should act as an important impulse for developing the attractivity of the left riverbank.
