Qatar School ”Lasgush Poradeci”

The preliminary concept approach was realized in 2020 by ASArchitects in the framework of public-private cooperation and the initiative of the Municipality of Tirana “Solidarity for earthquake damage”, giving special importance to the design of the building. The purpose of this project was the reconstruction of the school located in Kombinat, Tirana keeping the same functionality as secondary school in the same plot area of 5,352.5 m2 . The vision of the architectural and urban design is mainly based on preserving the identity of the area Where the concept gets its inspiration, integrating the building with nature both functionally and aesthetically. The three main materials steel, brick and concrete are integrating the building with its industrial context. Also during the process of architectural solution was considered the preservation of the existing greenery mainly in the perimeter. The pattern of the brick in the facade, represents the dynamism of the school mitigating the movement of its pupils which is emphasized strongly by the shadow of the sunlight. By analyzing the urban and environmental conditions, as well as preserving the identity of the area, the chosen geometric “U” shape, creates the possibility of developing an inner courtyard and creating as many spaces that use the natural light and ventilation most of the day, ensuring high level of comfort
