Postdisaster Alpine Urbanism

How can we develop post-disaster urbanism through punctual interventions on a dense, ancient, topographic urban fabric? This project is split into an upper site and a lower site, connected by revitalized mountain stream. The flowing linear architecture of the upper site sits upon and slips into the city’s topographic definitions, while the lower, flatter site follows the semi-fragmentary logic of archipelagos within a river delta.

The Krujë Masterplan approaches post-disaster urbanism through punctual interventions on a dense, ancient, topographic urban fabric. The project is split into an upper site and a lower site, connected by revitalized mountain stream. The flowing linear architecture of the upper site sits upon and slips into the city’s topographic definitions, while the lower site - which is more flat - follows the semi-fragmentary logic of archipelagos within a river delta.
