Kengo Kuma and Associates has recently been awarded first prize in the competition to redesign the Gërmia building into a concert hall and will lead the conversion of Prishtina’s architectural icon into a cultural landmark for Kosovo.

The design envisions a canopy weaving together the different volumes and creating a new layer of public space.
