The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center in Baku was included in the short list
of the key buildings of 2012 of the Architectural Digest.
The Heydar Aliyev Center was built as a fluid form constructed of
glass-reinforced concrete that emerges from the folds of the
landscape’s natural topography. This major new venue will play a
pivotal role in the redevelopment of the Azerbaijani capital, housing
a conference hall with three auditoriums, a library, and a national
museum.
