wanted to implement a contemporary architecture and feel while designing the high School building. Since it is situated mostly in a residential area, It needed to maintain an adecuate appearance and establish a strong singergy with the existing enviroment. transparency and sinuosity create a symbiotic relationship between the learning spaces and the new urban context. the connecting hallways are made of glass to ensure that the light follows everywhere in the building and visually opens up to the areas from one program to the other. The ground floor of the school consists of the entrance and next to it lies the administration building, followed by the auditorium with the food court, then the gym. the furnance is situated in a separated bulding with an outside entrance. In the northern part of the building are situated the classrooms in block in three storyes. the labs are located in 2 storyes next to the entrance of the building. In the second floor is the library where students can read, learn and interact with each other. As you can see all the functions of the buildings are designed in separate parts and connected through glass as a symbol of transparency and you can perceive no limitations in movement. there is also a small atrium in the middle of the glass hallways. It helps the students get along with each other and as a form of “escape” from the school. the main entrance is directed to the dormitories area to be as private as it can. The outdoor part contain the field for sport activities as football, basketball ect. and they are near the gym as it should be. the back of the school is a very larg space sorrounded by metallic fence so the student feel protected and can freely engage in many other school and fun activities.

Cultural Center ( t heater and Cinema)

Site: tirana, Albania

Professor:vladimir bregu

Year: 2011

Softwares: Autocad, Sketchup, Adobe Photoshop

the building site is located in a very lucrative place in tirana. the Cultural Center is composed of two main buildings which are the theater and the cinema. the Lobby connect these two volumes and provides the entrance, administration, and other facilities. It looks like theater and cinema are floating in the waters of the past. The project consist of two storey buildings and a underground floor. Complete structural separation between the theater and the cinema ensures optimal noise isolation for the theater space. this cultural center will have a specialty. It is design to provide vintage cinematographic art. It is like a revival of the golden past with documanted materials from all over the world. the whole building is withdrawn from the main street to prevent noise and the high flux of movement of the area. In the open area infront of the Cultural Center can take place many art events of different nature and the facilities inside the Cultural Center can afford the flux of people.

the theater inculdes a versatile space up to 445 poople that can be configured for cabaret-style performances, screenings, and panel discussions. the design is conform the standards for a normal theater. the walnut acoustic doors open onto the lobby for concurrent events. the structure is made of reinforced concrete. Adjacent to the lobby is an open café. next to the volume of the theater is the administration with its facilities.

the cinema includes a space up to 267 people that can be configured for screenings, and panel discussions. the design gives solutions that not only respond to the distribution of seats and visibility of movie-goers but also to acoustics and lighting. the horizontal structure has been solved with reinforced concrete slabs, whose two-way working with the existing brick walls make a complete set of vertical load-bearing walls.
