The Heydar Aliyev cultural center represent a fluid form which emerges by the folding of the landscape`s natural topography and by the wrapping of individual functions of the Center.All function of the Center ,together with entrances,are represented by folds in a single continuous surface.This fluid form gives an oppotunity to connect the various cultural spaces whilst, at the same time,proiding each element of the Center with its own identity and privacy.As it folds inside,the skin erodes away to become an elemen of the interior landscape of the cultural center.
heydar Aliyev cultural center had official soft-opening ceremony on 10 May 2012 held by current president of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev.As of today , works on the interiors are still ongoing and the building is not open to the public yet.
