La seguente tesi di laurea si inserisce nell’ambito del design per il paesaggio, con l’obiettivo di dimostrare come la disciplina del design, attraverso micro-interventi strategici, possa innescare processi di riqualificazione e valorizzazione culturale su vasta scala. La ricerca esplora il sistema delle Kullë nell’Albania settentrionale, considerandone gli aspetti morfologici, storici e sociali, indissolubilmente legati a una componente culturale che funge da cardine dell’intero elaborato. Nello specifico, l’azione progettuale si focalizza sul territorio di Shkodër, Tropojë e Kukës, traducendo le criticità legate all’abbandono e alla perdita di identità in opportunità progettuali volte a enfatizzare il valore del paesaggio vernacolare albanese. Attraverso una metodologia che unisce l’analisi teorica all’esperienza sul campo, il lavoro propone lo sviluppo di dispositivi spaziali capaci di trasformare il manufatto architettonico in un luogo di relazione, conoscenza e fruizione contemporanea, restituendo alla comunità un patrimonio attivo e condiviso.

Abstract
The following thesis falls within the field of landscape design, with the aim of demonstrating how the discipline of design, through strategic micro interventions, can trigger large-scale redevelopment and cultural enhancement processes. The research explores the Kullë system in northern Albania, considering its morphological, historical and social aspects, which are inextricably linked to a cultural component that serves as the cornerstone of the entire project. Specifically, the project focuses on the territory of Shkodër, Tropojë and Kukës, translating the critical issues related to abandonment and loss of identity into design opportunities aimed at emphasising the value of the Albanian vernacular landscape. Through a methodology that combines theoretical analysis with field experience, the work proposes the development of spatial devices capable of transforming the architectural artefact into a place of relationship, knowledge and contemporary enjoyment, restoring an active and shared heritage to the community.I documenti in UNITESI sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
