My name is Ela Miziri and 10 years ago I was graduated as an architect. Before I started my studies as an architect student, I studied 4 years in the Artistic school in Tirana, and took my education in Arts, drawing / sketches, artistic painting, and especially in Graphic Design. I used to work mainly in the interior design field, and I realized some various spaces in functional and aesthetics ways, including the technical support and the implementation of all the details. Almost in this last 5 years, I tried to increase my knowledge in the field of cultural heritage, by working in the Ministry of Culture, mainly in the protection and preservation sector. Recently I`m experimenting another field, like a mix of sculpture, designing, painting, doing real objects (art works) which inspires me to extend my artistic and aesthetic capacities through different materials and ways of doing them.
I can teach…“how to sketch, how to do research before starting a new project, how to organize it, how to concept it, and maybe how to make a good presentation about it”. I would like to learn… “more about the artisan (handicraftsman), the way they do their job and to know why they do it so. Mostly I’d like to know more about the way that one quarter or one city is built the way the previous generations thought. How did they do it, why they choose just to do it that way and not in another way, and of course more and more”.
