Our proposal to create the world’s largest exhibition hall with a primarily timber structure. In collaboration with Thornton Tomasetti for Expo Albania (AKPT), our design challenges large span construction with a prefabricated timber column and truss system, creating a column-free hall without extensive use of concrete and steel. The landscape, designed with Aspect Studios, integrates the strong energy of Tirana’s youth. The key intervention, with the local support of FG Architecture , focuses on repairing the forest and revealing Albania’s geological history, to embody both heritage and revitalization of Tirana.
