HAPESIRA ZERO SPACE

 #HAPËZEROSPACE represent Albania at #BiennaleArchitettura2018.

AlbanianPavillion2018 is conceived as a multisensory experience through an installation of spatial, visual and acoustic stimuli where the visitor is invited to perceive the free space and true essence of the city.
