The overall area is characterized by its garden-city nature. It is simultaneously close to institutions and administrative buildings as well as to parks and green spaces. Due to the geographic location, history and type of dwellings, nowadays this residential district represents a true heritage of the city. The zone is distinguished for its unique environment and features of the garden-city, with its villas surrounded by gardens. The occupation of the zone is essentially residential but it does host a few small businesses and offices, hotels, restaurants, schools and a few leisure activities.

The purpose of this trip was to introduce to the students not only the context of the project site, but to pay a visit to TEN Center in Tirana, and cultural community Center that offers most the programs required in the project brief. This exercise makes it easier for the student to better integrate to their project problem solving and design.
