Building on the river is certainly a risky endeavor for an architect who wants to preserve nature and adhere to standards. The design is resolute and pure, aimed at feasibility with simple forms reminiscent of a cylinder. The structure is robust by design but characterized by significant overhangs. Situated at the busiest intersection in Tirana, it is conceived as a completely public space, far from public-private partnerships. While subtle references to national symbols are present, the dominant concept is that of this large cylinder representing the flow of the river's water. It is split in half and inclined, engaging with the two riverbanks, opening into two vast public spaces, and filtering knowledge within.
