The essay aims to investigate the relationship between monument and city through a study focused on the construction of Modern Tirana (Albania). The study of the buildings constructed between 1939 and 1943 is important for understanding the relationship between the built environment and the landscape - a condition lost in subsequent urban developments- and for the attention towards a fragile heritage at high risk. The issues of knowledge and conservation are extremely relevant and current in a context, such as Albania, where a major urban transformation is occurring and has already seen the loss of important testimonial traces of modern heritage. In this regard, it is emphasized the need to pay attention to architectures whose great fragility, in terms of recognition of material and immaterial value and conservation, compromises their transmission to future generations.
