Glass-fiber reinforced concrete panels create the undulating wall surfaces, while windows and entrances are slotted into openings between different sections. \u201cThe center expresses the sensibilities of Azeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future,” said project architect Saffet Kaya Bekiroglu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
