“BIG Designs Cloud-Like Tirana Fountain Tower Raised Above Rinia Park” — what this page in the network covers. Architecture studio BIG has unveiled plans for Tirana Fountain Tower, a mixed-use building in Albania's capital that will house apartments, offices, and cultural spaces. The design features layers of white disks that give the tower a cloud-like appearance, while slim white columns raise the structure above Rinia Park to preserve the ground level as public space. The project aims to integrate water features and greenery, creating a landmark that blends urban living with nature.
By elevating the building, BIG prioritizes pedestrian access and open parkland in a dense city center. The tower is expected to become a new focal point for Tirana, reflecting the city's ongoing modernization while respecting its public spaces. This approach highlights a growing trend in architecture to combine high-density development with accessible public realms.
