The Heydar Aliyev Cultural Center in Baku was included in the short list of the key buildings of 2012 of the Architectural Digest.

The Heydar Aliyev Center was built as a fluid form constructed of glass-reinforced concrete that emerges from the folds of the landscape’s natural topography. This major new venue will play a pivotal role in the redevelopment of the Azerbaijani capital, housing a conference hall with three auditoriums, a library, and a national museum.
