Project description
International design
competition (1990) – Urban planning.
Thousands of years of cultural diversity layered along with the sharp
Soviet town planning characterized this historical city center. In the
middle of the site flows a small river dividing the city into cultural
(religious) and administrative (public) center. We threw a massive
bridge over the river bed, linking the separate parts of the city
creating a complex fabric of social and physical relations; a bridge
linking the historical heritage left by Ulugh Beg – one of the sons of
Genghis Khan - and the future vision for the city. A business center
located at the prow of the site symbolized the “cutting edge” of the
capitalistic world to come.
