Traumraum is the research and project platform of Anila Shehaj, an architect and researcher based in Berlin. The site presents her work under the name “Anila Shehaj, TRAUMRAUM” and lists an email address and social-media handle for contact.1 Shehaj is described as an Albanian architect trained at IUAV University of Venice and registered as an architect in Italy.2
The work focuses on housing, urban and labour informality, and the political economy of the built environment.2 The site’s project index includes Anatomy of a Scam, urban research on housing fraud in Berlin; Shadow Builders, research on undocumented labour in construction; and The Dreamers, a research project listed as beginning in 2026.12 Shehaj’s broader research follows construction workers and housing conditions across European contexts, including Berlin and Puglia in Italy.2
The site also lists Parafabrikat, a study of housing typologies combining photography and film, dated 2012–2013.1 These projects suggest a practice spanning urban research, architectural inquiry, photographic work and film, rather than a conventional organisation with a stated staff or institutional structure.12 The available sources identify Berlin as Shehaj’s base, but do not give a founding date or describe a registered office for Traumraum.12
