While Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates have been big in the architectural/green building news of late, did you know that Kazakhstan, a former republic of the USSR, is also making big waves in the development world?
Tucked neatly between Russia and China, Kazakhstan is taking advantage of its natural-resource-derived wealth to develop its capital city, Astana into a world-class city.
A few examples of major development on the horizon in Kazakhstan:
- Palace of Peace and Reconciliation
- Seven Towers
- Almaty Twin Towers
- Khan Shatyry Entertainment Centre
- Medeu Sports Center
Check out Architectural Record's article: Architectural Emblems of Kazakhstan’s Energy Wealth. There are lots of great opportunities for beautiful, sustainable design and development. Very cool!
