knowledge of Vilnius youth. Sound hill will take part also in international music festivals.
The hill already has users with its great view and big green space. It will be a part of this public knowledge by its unique sound installations and interactive musical landarts.It will create a soundscape with several landart installations which are also interactive musical instruments which are distributed throughout the hill in areas permitted by the natural slope. These multiple focal areas are connected to each other via various circulation routes which are characterized by a fluid, continuous design approach.
