Minister of Culture, Elva Margariti, who attended the opening ceremony of the biennale, said in a post on social media that, “with the timeless reflection on the future of architecture and architects as drivers of change in public space and environment, Era and Martini walked us through the “Idea Incubator” of the biennale.

“A combination between the virtual and the tangible world, where the interactivity proposed through the digital language is accompanied by the sound of steps on the gravel, as the main material used in construction,” Margariti said.

The project that represents Albania in the 18th edition of the International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale is entitled
“Timeless Reflections or: How we learn to live in synthesized realities.”

This project is presented by a group of young artists: Era Merkuri (architect and team leader), by Martin Gjoleka (architect), Ani Marku (architect) and Geraldo Prendushi (digital artist).

The 18th International Architecture Exhibition, which will take place from May 20 to November 26, 2023 in the Giardini, Arsenale and various locations around Venice, is entitled: Laboratory of the Future.
