WORLD LINK TOWERS

Following local deindustrialization, a former factory plot defined by a sawtooth roof remained unused at a high-traffic entry point to Prishtina. The main goal of the redevelopment was urban reactivation: turning an infrastructure-dominated boundary into a functional, pedestrian-focused destination. To address heavy noise and highway exposure, main building entrances and pedestrian routes are directed inward around an open central courtyard. This spatial orientation shields the internal public zone from traffic exposure, creating a sheltered micro-urban connection between adjacent districts. Conceptually, the site’s industrial legacy was adapted into an environmental feature rather than erased. The former factory’s sawtooth roof geometry was transposed vertically onto the building facade. Deep profiles at lower levels reflect the solid scale of the original industrial base, while smaller profiles on upper floors increase glass exposure, daylighting, and views across the city.
