Description du projet
Permettre à l’Albanie de se faire une place sur la carte des études européennes concernant l’architecture rurale moderniste
Le projet MaMo, financé par l’UE, est axé sur l’architecture et les paysages socialistes ruraux, ainsi que sur leur héritage postsocialiste dans la campagne albanaise. Grâce à une approche pluridisciplinaire, le projet souhaite étudier l’impact du communisme sur l’architecture rurale et l’aménagement du territoire dans les campagnes, la transformation postsocialiste et la perception du modernisme albanais. En offrant une contribution scientifique originale dans les domaines de l’ethnographie et de l’anthropologie contemporaines, de l’architecture moderne, de l’aménagement du paysage, de l’histoire et des études critiques sur le patrimoine culturel, le projet a pour ambition de créer une plateforme nationale et internationale d’échange d’opinions. Cela permettra, pour la première fois, de situer l’Albanie dans le contexte des études européennes portant sur l’architecture et les paysages modernistes ruraux.
Objectif
MaMo is a research project that focuses on Socialist rural architecture and landscape and its Post-socialist legacy in the Albanian countryside, aiming at (1) investigating how the communist ideology materialized in the Albanian rural territorial and architectural planning; (2) analysing the current condition of the former agricultural cooperatives and state farms settlements and how they relate with the compelling informal post-socialist transformation; (3) proposing a multi-level and interlaced understanding of Socialist modernism and its contemporary transformation through local rural communities perceptions and experiences. Further, by producing a novel scientific contribution in the academic research fields of contemporary ethnography and anthropology, modern architecture and landscape planning and history, and critical cultural heritage studies, MaMo intends (4) to constitute a national and international platform to discuss and place for the first time Albania in the framework of European studies on modernist rural architecture and landscape. In fact, as for many European states during the 20th-century, Socialist Albania planned, adopted and implemented large scale development and agricultural plans to modernize its rural areas. Crucial to the nation and state-building policies, those plans provided a trial opportunity for new landscape and architecture ideas converging on the vision imposed by the regime. Through a multidisciplinary research-through-training approach based on the collection, processing, and critical interpretation of visual data and multiple narratives, MaMo will systematically explore and document for the first time the Socialist modern rural architecture and its Post-socialist legacies in the Albanian countryside.
