AGIKONS & Bjarke Ingels Group National Theater, a new monument for Albanian culture

Tirana, July 16, 2025

Tirana is preparing for one of the biggest cultural and architectural transformations, the construction of the new National Theater. This major project is being realized through a top-level collaboration: AGIKONS, one of the leading construction companies in Albania, and Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), one of the most famous architecture studios in the world. This is not only an investment in cultural infrastructure, it is an affirmation of the ambition that Albania has to build the future on the foundations of quality, vision and international cooperation. Bjarke Ingels Group architecture as an expression of the future Danish studio Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is known for designs that combine functionality, aesthetics and sustainability in an extraordinary way. Present in cities such as New York, Copenhagen, Dubai or Tokyo, BIG brings to Tirana a unique vision: a theater that is not only a place of art, but an inclusive public space, that inspires, unites and lasts in time. For BIG, it is essential that the local partner be worthy of the complexity and importance of the work. And AGIKONS, as an Albanian company with full technical and organizational capacities, is exactly what this project requires.

The decisive role of the owner of AGIKONS
At the foundation of this success lies the vision and dedication of Mr. Gentian Sula, the director of AGIKONS, who from the beginning has oriented the company towards high quality and an international mindset. He has known how to build a company that not only meets the technical requirements of large projects, but also offers a modern, transparent and detail-oriented construction culture. This collaboration with Bjarke Ingels Group is the result of a clear philosophy: construction is not just construction, it is responsibility, it is vision, it is a long-term impact on the city and the community.

The National Theater more than a building, a symbol of modern Albania
The new National Theater, conceived by BIG and built by AGIKONS, will be more than a physical object. It will become the meeting point of art with the city, a monument of modern times that belongs to all Albanians. Its multifunctional spaces, bold architecture and advanced technology that will be used in construction will set a new standard for public projects in Albania. With the new National Theater, AGIKONS does not just build walls, but builds heritage, identity and ambition.
