Baku Engineering University joins WUF13 with innovative concept projects
Baku, May 18, AZERTAC
Baku Engineering University (BEU) was represented at the Urban Expo exhibition, organized within the framework of the 13th Session of the UN World Urban Forum (WUF13), with innovative concept projects.
The university submitted two conceptual research projects at the exhibition encompassing the fields of urbanism and architecture, under the theme "A Traditional and Organic Approach to the City Model of the Future."
The first project, developed by BEU's Faculty of Architecture and Construction, is a concept for modular organic residential structures aimed at reinterpreting the neighbourhood organisation principles of the classical Islamic urban planning school on the basis of contemporary urbanist theories and sustainable development approaches. The concept, presented as the "Honeycomb" model, proposes a human-centred urban model by synthesising the neighbourhood-spatial composition characteristic of traditional Muslim cities with an innovative planning methodology. The project identifies the optimisation of transport and pedestrian relations, strengthening of social integration, preservation of ecological balance, and formation of functional urban spaces as its core scientific and practical priorities.
The second project is a concept for a "National Cultural Centre" on the Jidir Plain in the city of Shusha, employing creative contemporary architectural examples. The project presents creative and innovative spatial solutions based on the integration of the national architectural heritage with contemporary architectural thought. The conceptual approach is grounded in the harmonious unity of preserving cultural identity with modern architectural and aesthetic principles.
Participation in the exhibition within the framework of WUF13 will make a significant contribution to broadening the exchange of experience on international scientific platforms for the university's academic staff, students, and young researchers, to fostering multidisciplinary collaboration opportunities, and to advancing research activities in the fields of urbanism, architecture, and sustainable urban planning.
