The Eagle, Tirana

If buildings are designed with love, they will express love. The strength of architecture lies in its sincerity, because beyond beauty is the feeling of being at ease, and the senses never lie.
The true mission is to build a habitat that positively influences people’s lives – following their needs rather than imposing them – because we’re not making homes, they are. The Eagle of Tirana expresses the values of a nation, eliciting the history of Mediterranean architecture, from classicism, to the dynamism of the Baroque, passing through the purity of the Renaissance and Gothic geometry, to the present, rising to the challenge of sustainability. The nation that granted the passport, thus the wings, to Albert Einstein, has taken flight into its future, strengthened by people who believe in and love their country. It epitomises, in one volume, our belief that architecture is the link between the DNA of a place, its present and its future.
Every aspect of these spaces is designed to positively impact the residents. In today’s fast-paced life, it is crucial that what we see and hear stimulates the senses in a positive way. Architecture, in this context, becomes an architecture of necessity – a concept that encompasses every aspect of creating spaces.
Tirana deserves a true eagle, a symbol of strength and proud of belonging to a great civilization. Coming from the airport, entering town in the Lana district the eagle fly free as icon of the country, embedded in a dynamic volume that expresses lightness making it an harmonious whole with its symbolic power.
