ARLIND DERVISHAJ | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | Clear traces of urban gardening design and landscape
architecture can be found during the second half of the 19th century in
some of Albanias major cities but the very need for urban planning
related to the landscape became evident only in the ’20 and ‘30s of the
20th century when the Albanian state was consolidated and cities
began to grow. During communism the landscape was organized
according to the ideology of the time, state-owned, and according to
urban general plans of the time. The period saw the creation of some of
the major public squares and parks for cities. After the transition,
starting from the 1990s, for over a decade, Albania saw a boom in
construction and rise of informal settlements in urban, suburban and
rural areas. Actually Albanian citizens are more than ever conscious of
the recent past developments and there is a wide consensus on building
cities and territories which are healthier and greener. The very
dynamic development of Albanian landscape needs qualified
landscape architects. The history of Landscape Architecture programs
has shown that its roots go back to horticulture. In developing
landscape architecture programs, Albania should follow the best
examples of other countries and, as a candidate country; it should try
to be in line with European Union developments. In this paper we
present our efforts to overcome the obstacles presented by the
educational system in Albania through curricula that promotes
creative, critical and systems thinking and where studio classes,
research and practice have a special place. | | Keywords : | | | Bachelor degree, Landscape architecture, education,
