Beschreibung
The book is a comprehensive introduction to the architectural projects of cinemas and theaters designed in communist Albania, contributing to the debate on the complex relationship that communist ideology set with the Albanian architecture, the influence of the socialist realism and constructivism, the relationship between institutional approach and individual design, as well as what needs to be preserved out of these cultural buildings. This exposé is enclosed within the (philosophical) contours of the pre-communist theater and the approach of the post-communist modern architecture of the same topological form.
