Durana Corridor
The competition for Tirana-Durres corridor stems from the need to improve the urban condition of the area along the corridor. It is one of main circulation axis of Albania that connects the two biggest cities in the country and again connects them both to the airport. It has become an economic corridor that brings large revenue to the country. It cuts through many small cities and in this perspective the whole country is the beneficiary, while the communities along the corridor will be direct beneficiaries. From an organizational perspective the competition slices the Tirana -Durres corridor into three segments/ lots: the area which connects Tirana to the metropolitan highway, the area which connects Durres to the metropolitan highway, and the city of Vora which is split in half by the metropolitan highway.

Based on the two constitutional elements of the narrative for Residual<br />
Arcadia the performance of diverse actors and agencies will be tested<br />
through proto-typical interventions aiming at the exploration of the<br />
potential opportunities for the future development of the <strong>Durana</strong> Region.<br />
The <strong>Durana</strong> Region is marked by green spaces that are more and more<br />
consumed by urbanization processes resulting in a heterogeneous<br />
patchwork that is neither representing the city nor the country side or<br />
pristine nature. The project accepts the hybrid nature of urban sprawl but<br />
considers the landscape as the framework that holds the divers patches<br />
together. Through the mapping of divers green and urbanized spaces<br />
the project will identify in the beginning where the greening strategy<br />
and prototypical developments have to be applied. The research will be<br />
undertaken in collaboration with the academic context and includes field<br />
research on site if the information is not yet available. The analysis will be<br />
based on 5 different scales of intervention.<br />
