Building Architecture Culture Public Programme
Building Architecture Culture Public Programme accompanies Albania’s participation in the Biennale Architettura 2025, curated by Anneke Abhelakh. This series is developed around a number of conversations hosted within the Albanian pavilion throughout May - November 2025 where a group of interdisciplinary guests will convene to discuss and explore Albania’s evolving architectural identity. Titled “Building Architecture Culture”, the Albanian pavilion at the Venice Biennale highlights the reciprocal relationship between architecture and society. Building Architecture Culture is a project commissioned by Blendi Gonxhja, Minister of Economy, Culture and Innovation, and curated by Anneke Abhelakh. This audio series is produced by KoozArch.
