The above bundle construction acts like a whirlpool, located in the middle of Tirana chaotic traffic by mixing up different people coming from all over Albania for transit or personal reasons. It offers them a place to take a rest and a place to take cover from the dynamic environment in the Skanderbeg square. Also offers to the people a chance to interact with each other by sharing their thoughts, views and their daily experience. Another function of this structure takes part during summer time when temperatures rise, and the asphalt reflection heat in the Skanderbeg square is irresistible for the elders and the children. The large Skanderbeg square that brings many people in one place during the day is missing a resting point. The bundle will provide them a place to take a rest, to drink refreshments and above all a protection from the heat and the sun.

“Whirlpool “is the start point of the concept, which creates the space of communication. This concept is again analyzed from a different view point, in which from its cross section we get the front whirlpool view. This whirlpool is translated in to a structure which offers a tower walk throw Tirana from a single point. The idea is to create the real impression to the citizens and tourists that visit city of Tirana.
