Accommodation Structures for specific purpose, by following this methodology:

Inventory of their position in the national level, documenting their actual situation and exploring their exterior architecture, by defining their main patterns or variables in architectural language.

Since Albania developed a unique way of architectural design, it would be helpful to explore the possible borrowed characteristics from other states, or the differences that they sustain.

3) An analytical and diagrammatic analysis could be undertaken for the interior function and design of Hotel “Turizmi” Typology, as a continuation of the research presented in this thesis.

4) Identification of the characteristics of the National Form, visible in the 3rd period of the development of the architecture of socialism, which can extend and enhance the architectural vocabulary in the scholar’s network, interested in specific aspects of the communist architecture.
