Azerbaijan (Republic of)

Three architectural and urban development projects, embodying this spirit of innovation, are showcased in this exhibition. REGENERATE. Regeneration aims to create a new, sustainable balance to reimagine nature, society, and cities. The Baku White City Project, implemented in the former oil refining district, demonstrates the renovation of an entire district. INNOVATE. Innovation resets the connection between humankind and the environment, solidifying links that unite the past with the future, and the local with the global. Victory Park, a modern and vibrant city park located on the border between land and sea, was designed for communication and rest. PRESERVE. Preservation in Azerbaijan takes the form of a dialogue between the past and the future, respecting its cultural and natural heritage. The Zangilan Mosque embodies this approach, respectfully restoring ancient traditions, preserving remnants, understanding historic milestones, and passing them on to future generations.
