There are reportedly over 750,000 abandoned concrete bunkers scattered throughout Albania, remnants of Communist dictator Enver Hoxha and his policies of paranoid xenophobia.  A group of graduate students have developed a plan called Concrete Mushrooms that would ‘invert the meaning’ of these structures by turning them into a network of habitable eco-hostels, cafés, gift shops and more. Though still in the proposal stage, the Concrete Mushrooms project is a comprehensive plan not only for transforming Albania’s concrete bunkers into economic assets, but also for reclaiming the structures symbolically.
