Wow, Tirana is booming! I can hardly think of a city in Europe with so many really big projects (Tramway, Parliament building, cathedral, airport, mountain cablecar, central square, many towers etc. etc.)going on. In general I'm surprised by the quality of the architecture. Most projects look really good, although I have to make an exception for the main square; I don't see why the Culture Palace (Is it? I mean the one with the bookshop) is getting reconstructed. The new design is actually good, but the building looks better the way it is now. Besides, it represents an important part of the city's recent history.

The other thing that I don't like is the new building facing the National Museum. The front of the museum is quite special (in fact beautiful) and deserves much better than to be put away somewhere behind a quite characterless new block.

But then again, Tirana will be a really beautiful city in a few years, and a popular tourist destination too, I think...

Thanks

There are many many more projects for the city which i havent posted and future projects yet to come.
The city is booming in all cylinders and with a visionary mayor we're heading in the right direction.
The parliament project is pretty much the extension of a new structure into a current building.

Some major projects are expected in the future.

In fact, I was referring to the one below. Is it going to be built and when it is, on what location?

7t · October 22nd, 2007, 10:11 AM

That one was a proposal from Mabetex (not too original i may add)... the project i posted on my last post is the new parliament building, construction of which is expected to start early next year.
We've had some disagreement over its design but at least it's a new modern complex much better than the current one.
