All this is going to do is turn into a giant bog!

My first thought precisely. Unless the desire is to allow the space to change from park to pond, depending upon the weather…!

the single undulation fails to produce any intimate spaces or anything human scale in the park, and the surrounding pathways seem to be too closed off and claustrophobic-I’d hate to have to cross the park at night.

I think there needs to be more play, more personality rather than grand form-the project is too big- but not to the point that the central ideas are lost

It would be a very interesting experience being in the space. It’s simple which works well for a memorial. I’m not too familiar with the project or the history of the place, but I’m not too crazy about the name ‘Freedom Field’, it’s a bit tacky… it makes me want to roll my eyes. But beautiful proposal, I’d love to see it.

Thank you all for your comments.
At the first stage of competition when we use the hard coating for the field, our excavation was deeper, the space was much more like an amphitheater. At the second stage of competition when we changed the hard coating into the grass lawn, we have spent a lot of time analyzing the depth and area ratio of the different existing spaces, until we found right. We believe that this is a comfortable space in that meaning, how comfortable space is a big amphitheater. We did not try to give to this area too much be cozy, since the Freedom have not be cozy.

It looks like a giant electric Wok appliance: http://www.teppan.ch/wp-content/teppan_yaki_wok_tischgrill/2007/02/wok_500.jpg

And even though it’s sleek and modern I would have to agree with Mr. Nowicki – the space there already lacks life – doing this to it will only make it worse. I imagine, I won’t feel good being there – playing guitar or blowing bubbles with a hundred different people. Our city can still boast having many green areas and I would like to keep it that way.

The Aesthetics in the project comes from that silence.. the very idea behind is very inspiring especially making the user to keep himself away from the chaotic surrounding.. simple idea translated to such a good project.. great work
i personally feel it is towards SANAA type of architecture which is all abot space and the user..

Im not familiar with this particular space, but I think important squares of the city should gather people who can rest, talk or exchange ideas there. The space should be in “human scale” so one would feel good coming there. I think this project repeats the modernist mistake – good form, but without predicting how people will feel there.It would surely be good as memorial, but not too much as a square. Of course I could be wrong, maybe architects analised the city and thought there is enough “human scale” space around and they can create massive empty space.

very interesting and innovative, but i still think that this place needs something else, just to keep the same atmosphere an charm as the whole Gediminas avenue has. well it`s difficult to define WHAT exactly… :)

the gentle stumbling down to the anticipated lifting, the scale of us measured by what will remain not a human hero-god, our scratched passage on the walls of the grotto, thank you!
