Concrete Mushrooms Trailer – Albania’s 750,000 inherited bunkers. from Concrete Mushrooms on Vimeo.

Concrete Mushrooms, interested project from Elian Stefa & Gyler Mydyti who are the students at Politecnico di Milano.  Here is the trailer of a project about the 750,000 bunkers left over from the communist era of Albania.

Project proposes the transformation of these bunkers into an organized network of permanent shelters to be used by tourists who hike the Albanian landscape; just think of them as permanent camping tents ( have a look at the draft booklet for more details: http://concrete-mushrooms.com/files/concrete-mushrooms-final.pdf ). Both
the video and the project will be released to the public for free in late December 2009,

There are more details on the website which launched a couple of days ago:
