Tirana’s landscape through the lens of time LAURA PEDATA
Authors: PhD Researcher Laura Pedata
Affiliation: Polis University, Tirana Albania
Background
My mental journey starts along the Tirana-Durres corridor, on the top floor one of the industrial buildings that define the Albanian manufactured landscape2 along the rarefied urban perimeter of the city - product of the fast economic growth of Tirana after the Nineties - reconverted in a Secondary school of architecture.
