GG-loop at Bread & Heart Festival, Tirana. breadandheartfestival

Albania is becoming a remarkable place to observe right now: a country where architecture, landscape, culture and public policy are being brought into the same conversation around the future of its territory.

Bread & Heart Festival felt like a clear expression of this energy: a generous gathering where public institutions, architects, artists, students and citizens met around urgent questions of land, coast, water, development, memory and abundance.

It was a joy for Giacomo Garziano to take part in two conversations with old friends and new companions in architecture, including José Selgas, Nils Becker, Manuelle Gautrand, Milos Zivkovic, Alberto Veiga, Pablo Oriol, David Van Severen and Kersten Geers.

Alongside the panels, GG-loop contributed a series of maquettes for residential, hospitality and landscape projects across Tirana, Vlorë, Kavajë, Qerret and Golem, including Nautilus, Kulshedra, Narea, Seastra and Lisindra, together with a 2 km canal landscape project in Vlorë.

The exhibition also included an artwork developed with Olta Ymeri Studio and Saas Studio for Serendra in Shëngjin.

Grateful to Bread & Heart Festival, AKPT / NTPA, Agjencia e Zhvillimit të Territorit, the fellow architects, and everyone helping to shape this generous field of exchange.

Faleminderit, Albania.

DAY 1 · EARTH
Earth is the first condensation of force into form. The day unfolds as a descent into embodiment: first the spark that sets the field in motion, then the tended emergence of life, and finally the inscription of an invisible order.

GIACOMO GARZIANO GG-loop
The Igniter
Capricorn · 15:00-16:36
Sound becomes the first spark. The voice vibrates, resonates, and sets the field in motion. Harmony opens silence and turns it into presence. A primordial tone returns, not as memory but as origin. What lies dormant begins to stir. What is latent starts to take form.

ROSALBA PICCINNI
The Gardener
Ta**us · 17:00-18:36
Tends to what grows beyond sight, following the slow intelligence of transformation. There is care, waiting, and nourishment. Life is not forced, only accompanied, as form ripens according to the silent logic of fertile matter.

The Inscriber
Virgo · 19:00-20:36
The gesture leaves a trace before it is complete. Signs surface like fragments of a script that already exists elsewhere. Inscription becomes a way of making an invisible order briefly legible. Each mark gives temporary body to what otherwise remains unseen.
