Tirana Architecture Triennale is a non-profit activity organized by the Architecture Fund in Albania and BARLETI University with the mission to question and research, develop and structure, and manifest architectural thinking, debate and reflection. It is organized as both a diptych of a triennial and a trilogy. Tirana Architecture Triennale is revealed to the public in its opening year with a statement, followed by a phase of critical distance, and finally concludes in the third year with a reflective epilogue.

The origin of Tirana Architecture Triennale unfolds in the Albanian context—three decades still in a state of transition, socially, culturally, and architecturally. Yet it does not limit itself to Albania as a point of reference, but rather as a point of reflection.

Indeed, beyond all geographic and disciplinary boundaries, we find ourselves in another state of transition: from the Holocene to the Anthropocene, from the analogue to the digital, and from the physical to the virtual.
