The construction of the Museum of Education has a
long history and extraordinary symbolism for the community and for the development of education in the
Municipality of Suhareka. Initially, this building served as
the first official school built in 1928 with only one floor.
Later, the building was expanded by adding a floor and
served as such for many years. This school building has
become an important symbol of resistance and raising
national, cultural and social awareness. Teachers from
Kosovo and Albania have contributed to develop and inspire an intellectual society that has protected and built
the country.
The geometric structure of the cube symbolizes order
in space and makes the building stable. Constructive
pillars and trajectories indicate important values such
as community, system, hierarchy, reinforcement, inertia, stability and structure. This symbolic representation
conveys the message that through the order and system of a society by maintaining a clear hierarchy, we
can build sustainable and resilient social structures. This
object generates dialogue that has been achieved between the old materials of the existing facade and the
new materials built from natural concrete. Natural stone
and concrete are two strong and durable materials, and
the dialogue between them conveys the symbiosis of
the architectural structures of the past and the present,
showing the value of cultural heritage and the continuity
of the development of society.

This structure has a broad purpose and breathes every
single day of the year. The exterior gallery and ramp, provide an open environment and constant movement for
visitors who can enjoy the artworks displayed through
the exterior windows. In addition, the two stages of the
summer cinema are a strong representation to the cultural life of the city, offering numerous opportunities for
various quality shows and performances. The outdoor scene is a vital element that breathes life
into this facility, and its placement in an area protected from urban noise is a wise choice. The circulation of
water from the main fountain affects the microclimate
environment of this area, making this structure not only
visually attractive, but also a pleasant place to enjoy.
The interiors are designed for performances of various
contemporary arts and the use of materials and colors
similar to the structure of the exterior completes this
symbiotic cycle of architectural composition. The Museum of Education is not only a part of the history of education, but also a symbol of community achievements
and an example of how an architectural structure can
convey essential messages and symbols important to
society.
