Summer Workshops – W.a.Ve. 2018 abroad of the University of Venice (IUAV)
“Continuously and fatally, the environment formed by small buildings, old buildings, past homes care for memories, colors, from scratched plaster, collapses, alters, changes, transforms into something else. […] So, cities change under our eyes”.
Aldo Rossi, 1968

Case Study: Gjirokastra (AL)
The product of the study will be the Design of the “Historical City”, which is thought to be located within and the surroundings of the Historical Centre and Protected Zone. The main purpose of its design is to transform the Bazaar into a pedestrianized area, accessible by the community and visitors. The study aims at improving the mobility in the Historical Centre and Bazaar area, as well as making out of it again an economic center attractive for businesses and other activities. The participating students are expected to provide integrated design proposals and innovative solutions that will preserve the historical and cultural identity of the area while facilitating mobility, accessibility within and outside of it.
The studio is working to identify alternative solutions and enrich architecture and planning by thinking beyond the typical planning framework. In this context, we stimulate and support the participation and collaboration of different interested groups of international and local students who will work closely together. We believe this team-based collaboration will improve the way projects and researches are informed with all the appropriate local knowledge as well as an international level of design standards. Moreover, we want to think about the workshop as co-creative processes, where students, designers and local actors are involved in an interactive process.
