perspective architecture - architecture 'me perspektiv'

Two years ago we spent quite a few minutes discussing about what is happening right now in the field of architecture in new - post Albania, and it was actually mostly a title-giving conversation. One of those titles was perspective architecture but better said 'arkitektur me perspektiv' (in albanian) - architecture with prospect (or prospect architecture).

Metaphorically, in relation to cognitive topics:

(source wiki)
[I'm googling 'perspektiv shqip' and the first link I get is 'dashuri pa perspektiv mp3 shqip shkarko falas (love with no prospect mp3 free download)]


prospect vs perspective (and if we are asking for trouble we could also involve the greek word προοπτική)

Future and Past (without considering the present as an existing unit of time) are well expressed in that term. Someone could argue that it's a remain of the five year communist planning, or just a longing of immigrants, someday they will be home.
In order to get somewhere we have to take sth as a fact and determine an x factor, my teachers at school say, even if the fact does not exist as a fact till that moment. The fact is that everything involves prospect and perspective before its launch. Architecture does too. Using samples of what suggest prospect-perspective in the expression of architecture in the location of the Himara town (south Albania) could be the theme of this year's study.
Samples:

- an agricultural depot

- a traditional stone house
- a person who works /with stone
- a typical 'room to let'

- a book (you guys each choose one you fancy)

to be continued soon_the main purpose is to try and discover architecture through non architecture stuff (and have fun doing that)!
