Following the collapse of the dictatorial regime in 1992, a rupture with the past emerged as people rebelled against regime-era buildings, reappropriating public space for self-expression. Three decades later, Albania remains in transition--culturally, socially and architecturally. This ongoing renewal has placed architecture at the center of national discourse. \u003ci\u003eThe Albanian Files\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on this transformation and brings together 60 international offices currently working in Albania, some of which have been active in the country since the early 2000s. Each office submitted a contribution with reflections on their experiences in Albania and on architecture built and proposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lars Muller Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783037788004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 8.90w x 1.90d","brand":"Anneke Abhelakh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53024757514421,"sku":"9783037788004","price":63.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9783037788004.jpg?v=1787667958","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-albanian-files-freedom-and-architecture-9783037788004","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
