General Information

The Albanian Union of Architects, Urban Planners and Planners – AUA was founded as a response to the need for a full representation of the community of architects, urban planners and planners in Albania. This young and growing community, having a contemporary vision of urban and spatial developments in the Albanian context and believing in the cultural importance of design, needs to be represented in the current situation.

Mission and Objectives

The Albanian Union of Architects, Urban Planners and Planners – AUA aims to provide a democratic platform for discussion as we believe that development is achieved through constructive debate and synergies. The main areas of thought and action of AUA are the following: Supporting excellence in architecture and planning as powerful instruments to transform and improve reality. Encouraging the professional activities of Albanian architects who constitute one of the most energetic sources of further development of our country. The creation of a serious and efficient network between architects, planners and the main economic actors of the Albanian scene. This approach should result in the creation of concrete opportunities as real changes can only happen through the dissemination of knowledge and practices. Recognition of the essential importance of the Albanian territory in terms of the landscape, the presence of infrastructure and settlements. These factors should be understood to convey Albanian specificities in the European debate on the future of cities and territory. Based on the above principles, AUA remains open to engage in joint efforts and activities with all actors who wish to contribute to constructing a new and integrated culture of design and construction in Albania and the European Union.

Main Projects / Activities

From 12 consecutive years, AUA is partner in organizing Tirana Architecture Week and Tirana Design Week. AUA delivers annually the Albanian Prize on Architecture
