Hi! I'm Teuta. I live in Tirana, Albania.

Since graduating from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, in 2014, I have gained

extensive architectural and urban design experience working for top architecture studios in

Albania, also for international clients.

At the same time, I’ve been teaching, as an independent Autodesk Authorized Instructor,

different architecture and design software (Revit, AutoCAD, 3ds Max) for both professional

architects and university students, helping them understand what BIM is and give them

thorough knowledge of the software.

The Master’s degree in BIM Manager at The Polytechnic University of Milan helped me hone

my skills and gain experience in dealing with integrated projects of all kinds and sizes.

Tirana, a city with never-ending movement and energy

Tirana, the heart and capital of Albania, like all other European metropolises has never-ending movement and energy. With its clubs, bars, cafes, and taverns, Tirana is worth discovering by both day and night. The hospitality shown towards tourists is something that will mark your journey not only in Tirana but also all over the country.

There are different thoughts regarding the origin of the name of the city. Some think that it relates to Tyrrenia (a name of Etruscan origins), while other believe that it relates to the word Theranda (harvest), or to the Tirkan (a castle at the foot of Mount Dajti).

Tirana Attractions

Your own journey might begin by visiting the museums and the key spots such as Sheshi Skënderbej, where you will be able to see the Mosque of Et'hem Bey (built between 1798 and 1812) and the 35 m high Kulla e Sahatit (the Watch Tower), built in 1822 with a San Marco style cupola. Next, you can visit the famous mosaic uncovered on the floor of an old Roman lodge. Its center configures the walls of the castle of the Roman emperor Justinian (A.D. 520). The monumental Tomb of Kapllan Pasha and the Ura e Tabakëve (a bridge constructed in the beginning of the 19th century, located on Bulevardi Zhan D'Ark) are also worth visiting. As a capital, Tirana has the country's finest museums, theatres, and galleries representing the national arts.

A visit to the National History Museum, the Archeological Museum, the Natural Science Museum, the private Mezuraj Museum, and the National Gallery of the Arts will leave wonderful memories. You can also pass a pleasant evening in the National Theatre or the Opera and Ballet Theatre. For dining, Tirana offers both a rich traditional cuisine and a variety of foreign fares, from Italian to Chinese, or even Indian. There are also several clubs and restaurants on Mount Dajti to discover and enjoy. The mountain is reachable by cable car, which provides a fantastic view of the city. In the Tirana region you may also visit the castles of Petrela and Preza, as well as some natural attractions, such as Pëllumbas Cave, Shkalla e Tujanit, and more.

History of Tirana

Tirana is relatively new. Sulejman Pashë Bargjini, a local feudal lord constructed the first building in 1614. He built a mosque, a hamam, and a stove, which at the time were the main institutions of a newborn city, today in the place where the monument to The Unknown Soldier stands. In 1816, the Toptani family came to rule the city. The most important date in Tirana's history is February 11th, 1920, when the Lushnja Congress declared Tirana the provisional capital of Albania; definitive status would be given in 1925. Following this act, the city has experienced constant growth, which continues today and has gained particular momentum since 1990.

Famous Italian architects made the center of Tirana their project during the early parts of the 20th century. The main boulevard in Tirana, Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit, was built in 1930, while the central square, Skanderbeg Square, was built between 1928 and 1929. In 1968, on the 500th anniversary of his death, national hero Gjergj Kastriot Skanderbeg had a monument inaugurated in Skanderbeg Square. Twenty years afterward, in the square was added the monument of the dictator Enver Hoxha. Shortly after on the 20 February 1991 the students and the people removed the monument from the square. In Tirana, you can visit a network of museums and galleries such as the National History Museum, the Archeology Museum, the National Art Gallery, and many more, including numerous private galleries.

Nightlife in Tirana

Tirana is unquestionably the dynamic center of Albania thanks in part to its lively nightlife, comprised of theaters, restaurants and clubs. There are a variety of places to entertain you and most of them stay open all night. Bars and clubs can be found throughout town, particularly in the "Blok" area, playing all kinds of live music, including jazz, house, funk, Latin, etc. You can choose to go to the Murphy's Irish pub or to an American-style bar playing hard rock music. Tirana is home to the Opera House, the National Theater and many other galleries and museums, which in recent years have hosted many artists and world-famous performers. Tirana also offers a wide range of cocktail bars, where you can enjoy some of the best cocktails while listening to music from the best DJs. Downtown, the Regency Casino invites people out to test their gambling luck.

Hello,

My name is Alain Christel Mizero, I go by 'Chris' for short. I am an architect in a medium size architecture firm here in Brussels.

I am here to learn what I have been longing to acquire ever since I started architecture at university. I have very little to zero knowledge about coding, but I am good with BIM software such as Revit, and a little bit of ArchiCAD.

I am here, very eager to learn, and to apply after all this knowledge to be acquired in the coming months.

I worked here for a year too. It's an off-shore engineering firm and I modelled in 3D complex models of a large steel pre-fabricated structure being built off the coast of Hong Kong, I also worked on its 2D drawings and details. I developed my technical skills and coordinated a lot with the engineers.

Hi everyone, it's great to meet you all! My name is Mary Ann and I live in Rotterdam... but originally I'm from Lima, Perú. In january of 2020 I finished my Architecture masters in the TU Delft university, my focus was parametric design applied in the health sector. After that I've been working in different offices here in the Netherlands as an architect. I have a lot of experience with Archicad, Rhino, Grasshopper (used these for my thesis and for work), but I'm really looking forward to learn more.

Currently I'm working remotely as a Computational Design Architect for an international firm focusing in hospitality, but I'll always have time in the evenings for our course :)
