The main specialty of Baltic Way is togetherness. To reflect this idea on the project, spaces where people can spend time together, talk to each other, enjoy the scenery, make sportive activities, make presentations, and watch movies at night, etc. have been adopted. Our proposal is not merely a library to enter but a platform on which urban life keeps continuing thus a building which integrates with the city.

Baltic Way Memorial is situated on a connection site by a bridge in the city. Balancing Memorial, a cantilevered memorial near the square. The memorial is 150 meters long. It is only when visitors reach the end of the structure that they suddenly experience the full length of the volume and the cantilever. The reason for this spectacular setting is the symbol of power.

This cantilevered structure can not balance itself. If we hang with one cable from starting point, it will overturned. If we hang with two cables from starting point, it will overturned.If we hang with five cables from starting point, it will overturned. But If we hang with enough cables from starting point, it won
overturned. Every cable symblizes person. These cables can carry a huge load of come together. The structure of this great move of cable narrate Baltic Way.
