Summary:
This publication shows the ambitious transformation of Skanderbeg Square, in Tirana, Albania. The project was initiated by the then Mayor of Tirana and current Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama and realized under current mayor Erion Veliaj. It is the result of a collaboration between Belgian architecture office 51N4E, Albanian artist Anri Sala, Belgian environmental designers Plant en Houtgoed, and Albanian company for project implementation iRI. Transforming the central square of a nation that is founded only in 1912 and that is now a developing young democracy, the project compresses all the hope and tension that come with that transition.

Summary:
C'est un pays de guigois. Là-bas, l'air est pollué, l'ambiance chaotique mais les gens sont gais. Sortie KO des années communistes, Tirana, capitale du pays des Aigles, est grise, lépreuse. Architecte-urbaniste, Guillaume de Monfreid part restaurer des églises dans un petit coin d'Albanie. Il est saisi par ces couleurs, ce culot. Il tombe sur Anne-Laure Lafay, photographe. Et vient le désir de happer la ville, galerie grandeur nature, natures vivantes lancées par le maire de la ville, peintre de métier. Edi Rama, avant d'entamer les chantiers de fond, se met en quête de rhabiller la ville. Il a l'idée utopique et courageuse de balayer le passé d'un grand coup de peinture sur le décor. Une table rase esthétique pour sortir de la neurasthésie. C'est cette fresque que raconte le livre de Guillaume de Monfreid et Anne-Laure Lafay : celle d'une métropole émouvante en polychromie.

Forget revolution – it’s time for reform. As the authors of this essay collection argue, sometimes the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly, surely, push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse(...)

Summary:
Forget revolution – it’s time for reform. As the authors of this essay collection argue, sometimes the most effective path to meaningful change is to work within existing institutions and slowly, surely, push for it. This is all the more relevant for architecture, which by definition is entrenched in larger social, economic, and political contexts. Four essays on diverse topics like urban planning policy in Mumbai, unconventional city forms in Detroit, municipal housing in Diyarbakir (Turkey), and collaborative design processes in Tirana (Albania) attempt to challenge and shift the way we understand and implement reform in the design disciplines.

Summary:
The 1912 recognition of Albania as an entity on the international horizon is paralleled by our own initial encounter with this Balkan enigma (some fifteen years after the collapse of Albanian Communism). In both cases there were pre-histories to be taken on board and post-histories to be orchestrated. These are the parallel subjects of this book. Bolles+Wilson were one(...)

Summary:
The 1912 recognition of Albania as an entity on the international horizon is paralleled by our own initial encounter with this Balkan enigma (some fifteen years after the collapse of Albanian Communism). In both cases there were pre-histories to be taken on board and post-histories to be orchestrated. These are the parallel subjects of this book. Bolles+Wilson were one of three architectural offices invited to the international competition for a Masterplan to re-script the central axis of Tirana. They designed two rooms within the Rationalist edifice, one the office of Deputy Prime Minister Nico Paleshi, and nearby a room called ‚''Prime Minister’s Think Tank''.
