When it comes to March 8, especially in the world of architecture, the whole world remembers the first architects who challenged the stereotypes in terms of the architect’s profession.
Everyone knows Zaha Hadid, the first the female architect to win the prestigious Pritzker’s award in 2004, thanks to his unique style eventhough she used to be labeled as “paper architect”, as her designs were thinked to be unbuildable.
But do you know the first Albanian architects who have been the foundation of our architecture?
What are the names that have conceived and designed important buildings such as the National Museum, the Kruja Museum, the Party School, the Palace of Culture Vlora, the Rinas Airport, the Korca Center and many more ?
