The Workshop deals with the regeneration and adaptive reuse project of the existing, circular design/construction process, using the sustainability criteria through innovative materials and limited economic resources.
The case study is located in the Divjakë-Karavasta National Park in Albania, where Dastu and INTBAU Albania, promoters of the workshop, in collaboration with the Municipality of Divjakë and the Park Authority has launched the three-year research project called “Urban Lab”. The Workshop explores the possibilities of rethinking and reusing some existing “ruins” within Divjakë-Karavasta National Park and linked to local historical memory – bunkers, military garrisons dating back to the Italian occupation between the 1930s, used for the internment of artists and writers during the Albanian civil war of 1997 – reconnecting them to the environment of the forest that hosts the buildings and rediscovering, in permanence and variations, new ways of living and share the experience of the park and its various ecologies.
