The Cloud is an art installation placed in front of National Gallery of Arts. Since 2016, the Cloud has served as modern art space for cultural events in Tirana.
The Pavilion is a fine, three-dimensional structure. The structure is 350 square-meters and the Pavilion has two entrances. A series of stepped terraces provide seating areas that allow the Pavilion to be used as a multi-purpose social space. The quality of the structure, enhanced by its semi-transparency, creates a geometric, cloud-like form, as if it were mist rising from the waviness of the park.
