TIRANA, April 22 – The prefabricated apartments built in the 1970s in Tirana and all over Albania were displayed this week in an exhibition featuring part of Albania’s architecture under the communist regime.
“With this exhibition, we have tried to bring part of unwritten history of Albanian architecture and a reflection upon life, social and cultural development of Tirana after the 1970s,” said Urban Development Minister Eglantina Gjermeni at the exhibition’s opening ceremony at the National Art Gallery in Tirana.
The pre-fabricated apartments, where an estimated 6 percent of Tirana’s population lives even to date, were prepared in a plant employing Chinese technology in Tirana with a capacity of 2,000 apartments a year.
