three towers
three towers
rising through the mist, three towers huddle around a lifted garden,
raised fifty meters above the ground,
hosting a public landscape with breathtaking views of the city and the caspian sea
The fritted pattern of the glass facade responds directly to aspects and usage, deflecting heat, reflecting light, and framing views. The three mixed-use towers grow out of a new public park, adjacent to the new Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre, forming an axial landmark in the centre of the Azeri capital.
