The doors of Durrës are silent witnesses to the city’s rich and layered history, bridging the past and present through their architectural and cultural significance. They tell stories of human connections, urban transformations, and the evolving identity of this ancient city, offering a unique lens into its heritage and the lives of those who have called it home.

To construct the urban history of a city that never halted the rhythm of life, even during its darkest centuries. To understand human values, gather oral histories, meet the descendants of those who built the architectural heritage of Durrës, uncover human stories, grasp the functional architecture of homes, and build upon them to create added value for the historical and creative tourism of this ancient city—such is both a privilege and a challenge.

The doors of Durrës are not merely fixtures; they are the knocks of people, the embraces of family members, the gazes into courtyards, the laughter of children. They hold the unknown memory of new residents, temporary inhabitants, seasonal tourists, and students who pass by, knowing so little about those who lived behind them. The Path of Doors winds through the old city, tracing marks, urban transformations, and architectural chaos, as if to reflect the coexistence of a systematic past with a transient present.
