Azerbaijan's urban development - "Build It Bigger"
We share another episode of the American TV show "Build It Bigger", this time focusing the major Real Estate development happening in Azerbaijan. The episode is centered on two reference projects: The Flame Towers (by HOK) and Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center (by Zaha Hadid), both located in Baku.
We'll continue to follow some of the projects that are happening in this country. For now watch this episode of "Build It Bigger", that includes the 720p visualization feature.

ARCHITECTURE REFERENCES - Bratislava Culenova New City Center Proposal, Zaha Hadid Architects
Bratislava Culenova New City Center Proposal
Bratislava, Slovakia
Zaha Hadid Architects
Proposal
Area: 150.000 sqm
Client: Penta Investments Limited
All images are property of Zaha Hadid Architects
Descriptive memory of the project's article on ArchDaily.com:
"The design for the Bratislava Culenova New City Center by Zaha Hadid Architects is based on a dynamic field strategy which aims to organize the city’s new city center program along a gradient of circular and elliptical patterns. In a series of larger tower extrusions, a fluid field emerges from its underlying matrix to activate the ground throughout the whole site and provide public spaces of the highest quality.
The underground car parking is covered by a one storey high modulated platform which is perforated at the strategic points for day-lit spaces that accommodate retailing, landscaped parks, and various points of interest such as the cultural center, museum shop, conference space, and event halls.
Towards the site’s perimeter, the platform is slightly raised at specific points to define the site’s edge and accommodate programmatic points of interest., access points to the parking below, and access to office and residential towers above. At other strategic zones, the platform levels merge with the surrounding city level to link the new urban parks and plazas with the surrounding city fabric.
The scheme creates density via efficient high rise structures while providing and generous and highly activate ground level differentiated within a three-dimensional field condition."
