The main goal of the international competition is the re-appropriation of the city of Tirana in terms of mobility and rail transportation. In collaboration with the Tirana Municipality, the competition event in Tirana will gather ideas from students and young architects all around the world, in response to the need for a complete renovation of the city. Tirana multimodal station will be the title of the international competition. Even in this case, the head of the jury will be an internationally known architect from the Netherlands. This event of the Tirana Architecture Week requires the following time frame: starting from March 1, 2012, with the registration of the participants and continuing in June with the registration deadline. From July through September, the jury, composed by representatives of each promoter, will give early assessments and will later announce the winners. The work and ideas generated from the event will result in a series of possible solutions.
