TIRANA, Nov 12 /ATA/ – The facade of Tirana International Airport, transformed into what resembles a giant bird’s nest, has become a talking point among the thousands of passengers passing through the airport each day.
Prime Minister Edi Rama shared footage of the facade on social media on Thursday, showing birds perched across its structure, describing the sight as spectacular.
The project, which has transformed Mother Teresa International Airport, was designed by renowned Italian architect Marco Casamonti.
One of its most distinctive features is the airport’s striking exterior, which gives the building a new architectural identity and creates a particularly dramatic effect at night, when illuminated by specially designed lighting and projections.
Inspired by traditional Albanian motifs and combined with contemporary architectural elements, the facade was designed to give the airport a distinctive visual and cultural identity.
Covering an area of 40,000 square metres, the facade serves not only an aesthetic purpose but also plays an important role in improving passenger circulation and protecting the building from weather conditions.
