Deputy
Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev took part in a presentation of the
architectural development concept for the city of Alatau. Their vision was
presented by two renowned companies, Zaha Hadid Architects and Skidmore, Owings
& Merrill LLP (SOM), whose portfolios include world-famous skyscrapers such
as Burj Khalifa in Dubai, One World Trade Center in New York, Leeza SOHO in
Beijing, and others.
The
companies presented the design code for Alatau City and sketches of an “anchor
facility” – an iconic building that will become the city’s business center and
its hallmark. The projects are focused on the development of vertical urban
planning and supertall construction, taking into account modern international
quality standards.
Special
attention was paid to a comprehensive approach to the development of the urban
environment, including transport infrastructure, access highways, natural
landscapes and climatic features of the area, as well as the priority
development of public spaces.
At the
conclusion of the meeting, Kanat Bozumbayev thanked the representatives of the
architectural firms for the conceptual solutions presented. The parties
expressed their readiness for further fruitful cooperation.
