The brightly colored, geometric cubes in Tirana refer to the spectacular transformation of the Pyramid of Tirana by the Dutch architecture firm MVRDV. The brutalist structure, originally opened in 1988 as a museum for the communist dictator Enver Hoxha, has been redeveloped into a public culture and technology center. The architects have placed 48 brightly colored, geometric cubes (boxes) in, on, and around the pyramid. These colorful blocks stand out sharply against the gray concrete and house cafes, studios, workshops, and tech spaces for young people.

Around the pyramid are small houses that look as if they're about to tumble. One houses an insurance agency. Very unusual.
