Tirana Rocks

The city of Tirana in Albania will be getting a new architectural look with this year’s MVRDV design winner. The competition called upon an urban masterplan to create a livable urban neighborhood, complete with park and public facilities, right off the shore of Tirana Lake, Albania. The winning design, entitled Tirana Rocks, will look like collapsing buildings, toppled over onto one another and create a pretty dramatic urban skyline when built.

  4. I really don’t think this is architecture…this is an insult to the city and the people who live in it..how could they allow such a thing to be built
    It has no relation to the place and history or anything of the city….IT HAS NO SOUL
