Kazakhstan's Astounding Futuristic Pyramid |
|
|
Since 2006, kazakhstan's new capital city of astana, itself an enormous hub
of construction since it inherited the title in 1997, has been home to one of
the world's most impressive and visually futuristic pyramids, known as the
palace of peace and reconciliation. it was designed by british super-architects
foster + partners, cost 8.74 billion kazakh tenge (i don't need to tell you
bright young humans that this equates to approx. £35m) and was built to
accommodate the triennial 'congress of world and traditional religions'. if
there was ever a positive to be found for the existence of the idiocy we know
and love as religion, this building could be it, as after an impressively rapid
2 years of design and construction, the end product is a masterpiece.
