BIG designs "bow-tie-shaped" theatre for Albania's capital
Bjarke Ingels' architecture firm has unveiled its design for a new theatre building in Tirana, Albania, in the shape of a bow tie.
The National Theatre of Albania is set to replace the city's existing theatre, providing three auditoriums, a rooftop amphitheatre and a public plaza.
Glazing will span the facades at the two ends of the building, offering the public glimpses of the activities taking place within. BIG describes it as "creating a storybook for the public and allowing the theatre operation to act as a stage in its own right". "The two main facades of the National Theatre of Albania are opened up to expose the spaces inside the building to the public outside," said Ingels.
