Since the end of the dictatorial regime in 1992, the country has experienced profound change, especially in the relationship between public and private spaces. <\/p>\n<p>In this context, architecture has taken on a central role, with a very broad creative freedom for architects, different from other parts of the world. However, this freedom also brings an important responsibility: to respect the natural landscape and environmental resources, seeking to integrate with rather than dominate the territory. <\/p>\n<p>The project for the Pavilion recounts this very relationship between architecture and society, considering how architects are contributing to the formation of the new Albanian identity. Through a film featuring interviews with architects and a publication titled <em>The Albanian Files<\/em>, the urban and social transformations defining contemporary Albania are showcased. <\/p>\n<p>The goal is to create an open and public debate on architecture, involving professionals, citizens, and institutions to imagine the future of the country together.<\/p>\n<h2>2.
