Details
The design of this building aims to create a timeless solution that harmonises with the city’s past, present and future. The elegant arches crisscrossing around the perimeter support an integrated photovoltaic roof structure. The design is empathetic to the past and pays homage to the rich history of Peja with the 15th-century fountain celebrated as the centrepiece. The building is a beacon of light, drawing people in with a communal lawn and sweeping curved amphitheatre to foster interaction between visitors.
