Valikhanov Museum
Sary-Ozek, Kazakhstan

The project seeks to incorporate traditions of Central Asian nomadic architecture into the design of a new museum. The terraces of floor gradually, spirally raise to the layers of soaring ceiling. Four drain - pipes symbolizing man's origin, are placed on the facades. The red walls, the dark floor and the white ceiling contribute to the overall philosophy of the project.
