Tirana Architecture Week | Workshop

Arturo Vittori and Andreas Vogler will be speakers and visiting critics in the 'Dajti Paradise' Workshop during the Tirana Architecture Week. The Workshop is looking at the city as a phenomenon along vertical dimension and investigates the special situation of Tirana and its a 'balcony', the Dajti Mountain. Further Andreas Vogler will open the Swiss exhibition 'Swiss Positions' and give an insight into current Swiss Architecture. The aim of Tirana Architecture Week is to promote international knowledge exchange among professionals and enhance public interest in architecture, art and design, as disciplines deeply concerned with the contemporary city development. Balkan cities have passed through radical social and economic changes, resulting in a diverse and often uncontrollable development. With great respect to their history, and also recognizing needs for future development, TAW is aiming at providing a platform, where several local and international participants can disclose useful and vanguard know-how, while the Balkan`s experience can radiate a unique and inspiring food for thought.
