Albanian Bunkers

There are reportedly over 750,000 abandoned concrete bunkers scattered throughout Albania, remnants of Communist dictator Enver Hoxha and his policies of paranoid xenophobia. Though some have been destroyed, most of the bunkers remain today. Graduate students Gyler Mydyti & Elian Stefa studing at Milan’s Politecnico di Milano have developed a plan called Concrete Mushrooms that would turn these structures into a network of habitable eco-hostels, cafés, gift shops and more.
