Dorina Pllumbi practices postcolonial and feminist thinking in relation to the field of architecture. In her doctoral studies at the Faculty of Architecture, at TU Delft, she explores the pratice of commoning as material and spatial engagement in realities of political transition. Her aim is the learning from non-canonical realities and discourses, starting from her lived experience as born and raised in a country going through drastic transformation like Albania. Her writings have appeared in several Albanian press and cultural journals, at the Danish journal Politiken, and at the Architectural Review, and at the peer reviewed journal Architecture and Culture. In press is a critical article to the coming issue of Architectural Design, and her forthcoming chapter contribution at the book Design Commons: Practices, Processes and Crossovers (2021).
