The purpose is to create a vision of how to build up this territory and select proper functions for this part of the city. The work is divided into two parts: workshop and competition.

39 teams have already registered, 8 of them will be selected.

The task for the participants is to create a vision of building up this territory evaluating these aspects:

- uniqueness of the context;

- connection with the castle of Kaunas;

- integration to the existent space of the Old Town;

It is necessary to evaluate these advantages of the territory:

- new junction between the Old Town and water;

- possible unique diversity of functions.

Works will be ranked not according to the derived averages but during the discussion.
