Buzludja – Concert Hall Project

The bad situation reflected on the people’s mind and led to a total disrespect of the monument. The building has been vandalised and ruined daily.

Including symbols from a very old Bulgarian tradition and innovative geometrical interior construction, the project is targeted at giving rise to dynamic feelings in its visitors and presenting them with an unforgettable experience – musical and visual one.
