The British architect Amanda Levete has beaten off 37 rivals with her design Belgrade’s new concert hall.

The acoustician is Tateo Nakijima from ARUP.

Serbian prime minister Ana Brnabić said the concert hall would be the largest cultural infrastructure project in the country.

No numbers available yet, but they never stick to budget.
