01. The School as a City and the City as a School

ARCHITECTURE UNIVERSITY Master Thesis Project

The project consists of researching the idea of a city-like School within the school-like city, in the region of Tirana, capital of Albania.

The idea behind comes from well-known architects and theorists of the second half of the 20th century, who believed in the reformation of the educational system, in adding city attributes to school buildings.

The object is situated in one of the most impactful areas of the city of Tirana and it sits there mimicking its surrounding counterparts. As the area is very monumental, the concept intends to de-monumentalize this part of the city, by using the school itself as a tool to better connect its urban grid, acting such as a public space of its own.

Functional wise the object responds to the program of an architecture school.

The logic behind the plan layout is mostly central, with clear pathways and easy to walk sequences. This makes the objects connect well with each other in a horizontal sense.

Seeing that the design of the project is of a structural nature, the plan responds to the elements of connectivity within the functions that the scool requires.

CONCEPTUAL HOUSING School Project

This project is meant to think about individual housing within the cube of 9 x 9 x 9 meters. Being of a very conceptual nature, the quality of space becomes the main task. But this space is responding to one individual in particular. After interviewing the person who is hypothetically living in the house, the design is build based on that person’s preferences.

For this 9x9x9 the client wanted to have a very articulate space and to feel free to roam around his house. Thus the concept is based on the idea of circulation, be it horizontal or vertical. The space is intentionally designed to take you on a different path whenever you walk through it, creating so a very dynamic nature.

There is no context for the project, for it is utopic and conceptual.

4 STAR HOTEL School Project

The project is tasked with designing a 4 star business hotel in a very small site in the center of Tirana. It was bound to take the form of a tower.

The design focuses a lot on proportions. The object stands in dimentions of 30x30x60 m. It has 20 stories, out of which 4 are underground and 15 look up in a humble way to the other towers in Tirana.

Seeing that it was required to build in a city like Tirana, where the urban silhouette is a source of big contradiction, the main goal was to articulate a sensitive, thought provocing architecture, that would blend in well with the site and its functionality.

The design in best read in section. In regards to its program the hotel has 100 rooms, 2 restaurants, an inner pool, 75 parking spots, a gym, a SPA, 3 conference rooms.

TOWER 26

The plan responds to a central core that acts as a center of the two dimentional composition, as well as a structural core, giving more rigidity to a vertical element, such as the tower. The rooms of the hotel position themselves from the 6th to the 12th floor.
