BIG [Bjarke Ingels Group], won the competition to build a cultural center including a mosque, two museums and public areas at Tirana’s town square, Skanderbeg Square. The architectural competition was international. More than 100 architectural firms had bid, and five were selected to present their proposals for the jury, including Andres Perea Ortega, AS.Architecture Studio, seARCH, and Zaha Hadid Architects.
The project is believed to have relatively good chances to be realized, since financing should be in place including assistance from Kuwait.
