Architecture and Spatial Planning

Description

The country's industrialization recognized its peak during the '60s and' 70s. Industrial constructions served as catalysts for the construction of several new housing blocks in Tirana. Around these industrial areas were built dedicated dwellings mainly for the workers' families. After the total abandonment of these structures, the industry was no longer the main revenue generator in the country, so Albanians turned to private activities.

For seven to eight years, we have turned attention to these factors from these areas and abandoned structures. The first is the private factor, which has begun to reuse some of the areas in these areas. The second factor is the institutions of local government and those of urban issues study. Solutions for controlling informality and territory in peripheral areas have long been required. The third factor is the people in the area, who are interested in community life and seek public spaces and structures for social activities. The main purpose of this research is to read and re-evaluate one of the abandoned industrial structures along the Tirana River and to propose a way to reuse this structure more environmentally friendly and as beneficial to the residents themselves.

The qualification of spaces between industrial buildings will give the area an open functional market and another quality of urban design. This will enrich the public and semi-public space considerably. So these former industrial zones will be used

Revitalization of new dinamo factory through the urban agriculture

Durres, Albania

The country's industrialization recognized its peak during the '60s and' 70s. Industrial constructions served as catalysts for the construction of several new housing blocks in Tirana.
