The museum city of Gjirokastra
Professor Emin Riza is well known for his work on Albanian vernacular architecture and as the leading figure in the study and conservation of the historic houses of Gjirokastra. His detailed study The museum city of Gjirokastra has long been out of print and its republication in Albanian is to be doubly welcomed as Gjirokastra now has the status of Albania’s second Unesco World Heritage Site and recent years have presented numerous threats to the survival of its unique architectural ensemble. The book is the summation of his long period of study and practical involvement in the city. The discussion covers Gjirokastra’s built legacy and covers most of the principal building types within the city focusing on the domestic dwellings. The analysis of these and heir social significance forms the core of the book. The work covers areas suitable also for specialists, with sections covering elements of engineering, architecture, and decorative arts and for everyone who has a concern for the preservation of the Albanian national heritage.
