DEA Studio

DEA Studio l.t.d was born in Tirana, Albania in 2002 as a challenge of a young generation nucleus of architects and urban planners to go beyond the borders, in an open mind philosophy, toward the most contemporary international tendencies. The name "DEA" is not a casualty other than symbol of a national and international cultural heritage as Dea of Butrinti sculpture is (UNESCO heritage status). It was and continuous to be as magical as hard to represent dignitously this name, but absolutely a stimulus. DEA Studio l.t.d philosophy starts at what roman architect Vitruvius centuries ago in his "de architectura" proclaimed, as three qualities of a building firmitas, utilitas, venustas (durable, useful, and beautiful), continues to the definition of a specific concept and identity for each creature we try to bring in life and doesn't end in terms of limits. In the center of our attention is the concept of social interaction in a further more metro-megapolitan world of waste human values.
