The conference continues SHARE Architects’ mission to foster cross-border dialogue and knowledge exchange, particularly in fast-developing markets such as Albania and Southeast Europe.

With sustainability at the core of this year’s edition, discussions are likely to address climate-responsive design, material innovation, circular construction strategies, and the integration of landscape and architecture in dense urban contexts.
