This thesis establishes an archive, library and documentation centre by assembling information to create a common and shared space of knowledge production with the purpose of reactivating a historical site, while examining the process of making architecture. It also reveals how the process of making architecture evolves in relation to diverse and radically different socio-political and economic conditions and asks about the fundamental concepts and premises of architecture today. This project is an intervention––not in the physical––but in the social relations to reactivate the space and process of making architecture in Himara, Albania. The shared library and knowledge base are operated by an NGO that is being established locally and builds a network of shared data in Tirana, Graz and Paris. This archive is seen as a vehicle that will communicate cultural and social values and––as a common good––giving space and knowledge to the ones who need it to work. Thus, the archive invites engagement in art, architecture, culture and social relations, bringing different people together without categorization. A digital reproduction of physical archives is enabling the remote access to the archival materials––also engaging a bigger part of the community. In this project, architecture, art, and culture are seen as agents––a moving force for social change.
