AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This bachelor thesis focuses on the preservation and repurposing of bunkers built during Enver Hoxha's communist regime in Albania. The bunkers, which symbolize Albania's dark past, are a significant part of the country's history. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the importance of preserving these bunkers and explore potential ways to give them a new purpose that benefits both the country and tourists. The methodology involves examining the origin and impact of the bunkers, exploring their architectural heritage, analyzing their typology, and assessing their current situation and utilization. Real-life case studies are examined to gain a better understanding of these structures. The thesis concludes with a research project proposing new functions for the bunkers in specific locations, supported by illustrations and plans.
