Location: Pristina, Kosovo.
Architect: Pacarizi Studio + Arber Sadiki architects.
The Pristina Gërmia Concerts Hall project proposes a new aggregation of freestanding volumes for the Great Concert Hall (1800 places), the Black Box Concert Hall (500 places), the Small Auditorium (200 places), an Open Air theatre and all the necessary secondary spaces. The Old Germia, building A, will be transformed into a Contemporary Arts Centre on the first and second floors. This architectural statement underlines the importance and potential of the Old Germia building as a perfect example of the Modernist heritage of Pristina. The new additions to the Main Pristina square are organized in three buildings: the Main Great Concert Hall, the Black box Concert Hall, and the Small Auditorium with restaurants and an observatory tower. The Hall has a “shoebox” shape on the exterior and a “vineyard” – “ring” on the inside, and offers room for 100 performers and 1700 visitors. The auditorium, restaurants, and Open-Air stage have all independent accesses for independent use.
