A MODERN HUB OF URBAN LIFE
VILNIUS, LITHUANIA – Myefski Architects and 32 other international architecture teams have imagined a new way to experience Vilnius. The design concepts involve a comprehensive scenario for changes to the existing Railway Station Complex, Central Station Square, and Public Transport Terminal that coalesce to create connections between the Naujininkai and Old Town neighborhoods.
Ranked 10th, MA's design proposal is a celebration of old and new, of opacity and transparency, of structure and fluidity. Collectively, the components are a symbol of modernity, designed with technology and sustainability in mind, but at heart they are inspired by an old-world sensibility, drawing upon the terracotta tiled roofs of Senamiestis.
It is with great esteem that we offer congratulations to the winning design team of Zaha Hadid Architects. A smooth low-lying structure that peaks with a pitched roof is a poetic way of paying homage to the existing station's neoclassical elements.
