HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background in 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center Opened to the Public in Baku, the Capital of Azerbaijan
HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background In 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center opened to the public in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The cultural center, designed by Zaha Hadid, has become the primary building for the nation's cultural programs, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities of Azeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future. This report presents a case study of the project. It will include the background information, a synopsis of the architect's mastery of structural design. Also, some special elements of this building will be discussed in detail. And the structural design of the whole complex will be reviewed through diagrams and the simplified computer-based structural analysis. The Heydar Aliyev Center Since 1991, Azerbaijan has been working on modernizing and developing Baku’s infrastructure and architecture in order to depart from its legacy of normative Soviet Modernism. The center is named for Heydar Aliyev, the leader of Soviet-era Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and President of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003. The project is located in the center of the city. And it played an extremely important role in the development of the city. It breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture that is so prevalent in Baku. More importantly, it is a symbol of democratic philosophy thought. Under the influence of the new Azerbaijan party and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan leader’s political and economic reform, the center was also designed to show the potential of the country’s future cultural development, to encourage people to study the history, language, culture, national creed and spiritual values of their own country.

Magic Carpet Ride
Magic Carpet Ride The Pazyryk Carpet is the world's oldest pile rug. It was found in a burial mound in the Pazyryk Valley in Siberia. Experts agree that it was most likely not made there, rather Persia or Armenia. They have dated it to some time in the 4th or 5th Century BCE (about 2,500 years old). https://www.mattcamron.com/ blog/the-worlds-oldest-rug-the- pazyryk-rug This Persian carpet dates back to the year 946. It took three years for five weavers to complete the carpet, which was ordered by Shah Tahmasp for the Sheikh Safi mosque. https://www.carpetencyclopedia.com/ Azerbaijan Carpet Museum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ai2hDCHSPRw https://www.advantour.com/azerbaijan/handcrafts/carpets.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijani_rug wool dying https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq94Hvsx46k Motifs https://www.orientalrugsalon.com/interpreting-rug-designs/ Faig Ahmed (1982- https://www.faigahmed.com https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=nT9PwBqDDMw https://www.shangrilahawaii.org/ visit/residencies/faig-ahmed/ Faig Ahmed is an Azerbaijani contemporary visual artist who is best known for his surrealist weavings which integrate visual distortions into traditional oriental rugs. Afghan War Rugs Since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and continuing today, traditional Afghan rug weavers have incorporated stylized representations of political figures, Kalashnikovs, flags, maps, architectural landmarks, tanks, drones and ammunition amid colorful floral and geometric patterns; designs reflecting a reality familiar to the people of this multi-generational war-torn region. In 1971 the Italian conceptual artist Alighieri Boetti (1940-1994) began commissioning Afghan weavers to produce a series of map textiles originally inspired by his collected newspaper illustrations of the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War (1967).
