The purpose of the architectural competition is to bring attractive ideological solutions for the proposal of a new multi-purpose building of the philharmonic orchestra in České Budějovice.

Primary areas reserved for Philharmonic building are plots 4353, 3966/1 and 3966/3 in cadastral territory České Budějovice 3 with a total area of 11 935 m2. Mariánské náměstí is located north of the historic city center - at the intersection of the streets Pražská třída (Prague avenue) and Husova třída (Hus avenue), within walking distance of the historic center of České Budějovice.
