Abstract
The architectural spaces that form the function of the main squares and bazaars are often considered the best place to understand the history of the city due to their many layers of construction. These areas, as the first urban core of the city, represented a meeting place for people, a place of recreation, and a place where people could discuss politics. This research presents the transformation of two of Tirana's public spaces that have had interventions, as illustrated by the cases of Skenderbeg Square and Tirana-Old Bazaar, which is significant and almost prophetic for the understanding of a country such as Albania. The goal of this study is "participatory architecture," which regenerates infrastructure and public space. These interactions have recently been facilitated by the use of physical and digital planning production through analysis. This method stimulates innovative design, economic growth, cultural heritage activity, and greater tourist coherence.
