Formerly an outpost of the Tsarist Empire in the barren steppe, the location had developed into a typical Soviet provincial town. However, both internationally renowned and local architects are now designing spectacular and unique buildings in this dynamic city. Furthermore, Astana will host the Expo 2017 which will take place only twenty years after the city was built in the steppe alongside the old centre. The Astana Architectural Guide documents eighty diverse buildings and projects in the Kazakh metropolis, which was masterplanned by Kisho Kurokawa, and examines the contradictory nature at play within oriental traditions, western models and Soviet influences. Therefore, this publication represents a critical analysis of architecture and capital city planning in the centre of Eurasia.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 245mmItem Length: 134mmContributor: Philipp Meuser (Edited by), Adil Dalbai (Contributions by), Guido Herz (Contributions by)Genre: Architecture & AntiquesAuthor: Adil DalbaiRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
