Sarajevo has become the synonymous for a city marked by the clash of modern civilization and subconscious human instinct. In this context, the erection of a concert hall can be seen as a vision for the reestablishment of culture as a basic human need and a necessity for civil coexistence. Musical Perception in particular can serve as a link between  the understanding through emotional impulse and intellectual reflection.

The proposed Concert hall building is designed as a urban organism with several organs. A cubic incision in the building envelope creates a covered urban plaza with multiple public functions. This void underneath the roof serves as a urban connector and twenty four hours accessible public space. The restaurant and bookstore can be used independently from the concert hall.  The two auditorium volumes orchestrate the urban space as musical bodies and mediate between exterior and the internal concert hall functions. Rather than being hermetic objects, the auditoriums are experienced as multilayered filters between the urban space and the music performance.

The approach and passage of the visitors is of central importance for the proposed scheme. The arrival at the pedestrian level is experience as a long, slowly upward moving concentration. Protected under the urban roof, the space between the volumes of the concert halls increasingly compresses, to open up into the main horizontal entrance lobby. The curved vertical circulation space between the auditorium skin and the building envelope provides an extreme spatial experience and unexpected views of the city and the river.
