We have not had the chance to prepare a proper press kit so far, but here are a few pictures, posters and a synopsis which represent the Concrete Mushrooms Project:

The Concrete Mushrooms Project is an initiative started by two graduate students- Elian Stefa & Gyler Mydyti, under the guidance of arch. Stefano Boeri at the Politecnico di Milano’s Landscape Architecture department. The main purpose of the Project is to emphasize the appreciable assets of Albania such as bunkers which are vast in number, underappreciated as a resource and present across all the rich and beautiful landscape of Albania.
The priorities of the Project are:
1. facing the symbol of xenophobia (bunker) with deliberate awareness for the purpose of inverting its meaning into a symbol of hospitality;
2. the preservation of the memoir of a significant period of the Albanian history;
3. giving bunkers value instead of having them as burden;
4. the promotion of an underdeveloped touristic sector such as Eco-Tourism which has an enormous potential at the same time has a growing financial viability, social and environmental sustainability.
