Architects are curious by nature and travel excites the senses in all dimensions while fueling creativity! During their travels, they observe, observe cultures, buildings, proportions, the relationship with light, materials, spaces and carry these subconsciously which can be re-appeared/re-materialized in the concepts of the projects they are working on.
But why as an architect (not only) should you travel? We have compiled 5 reasons why you should take trips outside and inside Albania:
01. Inspiration
It happens that the routine grabs you and the pressure to always bring something new consumes you, which sometimes translates into “creative block”. Therefore, leaving the “known” becomes a necessity. Travels have inspired not only artists and writers but also architects.
02. It changes your mindset!
When you travel, everything around you changes, starting from nature, typology of buildings, most importantly, culture! You begin to see a new way of living expressed in new dimensions and colors. You get to perceive a new reality, from where your view of the world changes and takes many forms.
03. It helps you think beyond the limits!
There is no journey that does not change you! It makes you more open to the world and its colors, more able to embrace different points of view and enrich yourself spiritually and artistically!
The ability you gain from traveling to accept or see in different perspectives will make you think beyond the boundaries in your creative process! The source of creativity can be nature, historical buildings or the innovative use of existing technologies! But it is certain that traveling changes and fundamentally improves you as a person and as an architect.
04. Discover not only culture but also yourself
Through travel, you not only discover new dimensions, but you also explore culture, architecture, cuisine, art, but above all, you also discover yourself. Travel helps you expand your horizons and easily accept points of view that differ from your own. Travel is necessary to develop personally and creatively.
