Today, the exhibition "Arkadag eýýamynyň arhitekturasy" opened at the exhibition center of the Union of Artists of Turkmenistan, organized by the Union of Architects of the country with the support of the Hyakimlik of Ashgabat and the Ministry of Construction and Architecture of Turkmenistan.
The exposition presents the best works of national architecture and urban planning created in recent years, as well as new architectural projects for the capital of the country, the city of Arkadag, and promising works by young and mature authors, reflecting their vision of the buildings of the near future. In total, more than 200 works are presented to the attention of visitors.
The exhibition displays the widest possible panorama of the creative searches of the architects of our country. It attracted not only professionals but also the general public to the discussion of modern trends in urbanism and architectural design, and also introduces regional experience and the latest bright premieres in the field of building culture, which are demonstrated by the new city of Arkadag.
As is known, the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Chairman of the Halk Maslakhaty Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, who was awarded the honorary title of Honored Architect of Turkmenistan, makes great efforts to improve the quality of the country's cities and villages. Of course, special attention is paid to Ashgabat - not only as an administrative, economic and cultural center, but also as a city that, in a short historical period, has acquired a new international status for itself and has become an important factor in the political life of the entire surrounding region.
Hero-Arkadag's insistence on turning Ashgabat into an exemplary modern city with a highly developed infrastructure and world-class development not only mobilized local resources, but also attracted significant foreign investment. As a result, we now see a completely unique, growing city, which is included in the Guinness Book of Records as the most white marble in the world. But this, first of all, speaks of the stylistic unity of modern Ashgabat architecture, subordinated to a single artistic concept.
The exhibition shows how, in the current historical era, Ashgabat has not only mastered new functions that it never had before, but also managed to quickly transform into a qualitatively different city, making a rapid leap towards the creation of the most modern infrastructure and radically improving its appearance. A qualitatively different level of life and living environment is demonstrated by the city of Arkadag - a unique "smart city", the first stage of which was put into operation on June 29 this year.
Architects and cultural figures speaking at the opening of the exhibition noted that the modern architecture of Turkmenistan is characterized by a wide urban planning scope, combining elements of world urbanism and local traditions. And here, at this exhibition, you can see the whole variety of approaches to solving professional problems, directions of creative searches and real achievements of domestic architects.
The practical usefulness of such exhibitions is indisputable, the speakers stressed, especially for students and young professionals who see the best works of their senior colleagues and mentors here with their own eyes. This will help them cultivate a taste in themselves, teach them to understand architecture more deeply and create their own works worthy of our time. On the third day after the opening of the exposition, the results of the corresponding competition will be summed up and the prize will be awarded to the winners.
