目前，全球60家顶尖建筑事务所已提出在阿尔巴尼亚实施500个极具创意的建筑项目，这一消息引发了民众的愤怒与抗议。
Sixty top architecture firms from around the world have mooted 500 eye-catching projects across Albania, sparking fury and protests.
如今，这些项目被收录进一本厚达800页的书籍中，有人甚至称其为揭露真相的“关键证据”。
Now they’re being celebrated in an 800-page tome that some are calling ‘a smoking gun’
去年秋天，我在纽约与一位知名建筑师交谈时，他的手机不断响起提示音。
Last autumn, I was sitting with a prominent architect in New York, when their phone wouldn’t stop buzzing.
他查看信息后笑着说：“看来‘阿尔巴尼亚建筑军团’的群聊又热闹起来了，看来埃迪又给我们带来了新项目呢。”
They finally checked the messages and chuckled. “Oh, the Albanian Architecture Army chat is blowing up again,” they said.
这里的埃迪指的就是自2013年起担任阿尔巴尼亚总理的埃迪·拉马。
“It looks like Edi has some new projects for us.”
在他的推动下，这个曾经的共产主义国家正经历着翻天覆地的变化：地拉那出现了造型奇特的摩天大楼、屡获殊荣的公共空间以及风格独特的海滨度假区，更多令人惊叹的建筑构想也正在酝酿之中。
所有这些内容如今都被汇集到了一本名为《阿尔巴尼亚档案》的新书中。
Edi was Edi Rama, the prime minister of Albania since 2013, who has been presiding over the rapid transformation of the former communist country with a fleet of glamorous building projects. There are twisting towers in Tirana, along with prize-winning public spaces, striking coastal resorts, and many more dazzling visions on the way – all now brought together in a hefty new book, The Albanian Files.
