Tirana has become an international hotspot for modern architecture whose architectural excellence needs to be recognized and documented. The Museum for Architectural Drawing in Berlin serves as a prime example of how such an approach could look like in Albania.
Opened in 2013 on initiative of Sergei Tchoban – himself an international renowned architect, passionate draftsman and collector of both historic and contemporary architectural drawings – the museum’s extensive collection serves as a valuable source for researching the history and nature of architectural drawing. The museum’s primary aim is to present the imaginative and emotionally charged world of architectural drawing to a broad public through regular exhibitions. Since its opening, the museum already showed over 30 exhibitions and its archive contains more than 3,000 works.
The exhibition Drawing Buildings – Building for Drawings introduces the Berlin-based Museum for Architectural Drawing with its outstanding architecture together with a selected range of Drawings from the Museum’s Archive.
