Today we want to show you what isinside this masterpiece of architectural thought in Baku A lot has been written about this miracle of architecture, which was designed by Zaha Hadid. A huge building that looks like an alien ship or a city of the future really exists and is located in the capital of Azerbaijan. Building area - 52.417 sq. m, total area - 111.292 sq. m. But today we want to show you not only how the center looks from the outside, but also what is inside it. And it is no less beautiful. The Heydar Aliyev Foundation invited Maligno Industria Arredamenti to design a cafe, library, museum and conference center in the traditions of local culture, with respect for it, and as a result, the national monument turned out to be warm and cozy. The interior was designed by Architect Thierry Beillevaire for Creative Architecture & Urbanisme Studio. The center project was approved in 2007, and on May 10In 2012, its opening took place. Inside the building are a congress center, a museum, exhibition halls, a library, a conference room with 3 auditoriums, a catering area and administrative offices. There is a 9 hectare park near the center. The conference hall has a capacity of 2000 seats. To achieve the perfect acoustics, it was made entirely of natural wood. At the same time, the walls of the hall bend smoothly. Each exhibit of the museum tells visitors aboutimportant events in the social, political, economic, cultural and sports life of Azerbaijan. Exhibition halls are located on 5 floors. They hosted exhibitions of Andy Warhol, Tony Cragg, Henri Cartier-Bresson. The 967-seat auditorium is the ideal venue for conferences, forums, symposia and concerts. The Center hosted the Second World Forum onintercultural dialogue, the Baku International Humanitarian Forum, as well as the 12th summit of the Organization for Economic Cooperation. On his stage, concerts were given by such world-famous singers and musicians as Alessandro Safina, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Michael Bolton, Kitaro, Yitzhak Perlman. http://www.malignogroup.com, http://www.worldarchitecture.org
