The British bureau "Zaha Hadid Architects" (ZHA), one of the world’s most prestigious architectural firms, will participate in the XXV International Exhibition and Conference "White City Ashgabat 2026," to be held in the capital of Turkmenistan.
The anniversary forum, scheduled for May 24–25 this year, will be organized under the motto "Architecture. Innovation. Sustainable Development." It is expected that representatives from over 100 leading companies from 25 countries, including government agencies, investment structures, and international organizations, will attend this international event.
During the conference, experts will discuss key issues regarding modern practices in sustainable urban development, infrastructure digitalization, and Ashgabat’s long-term development strategy through 2045.
Additionally, a special roundtable meeting will be held within the framework of the forum, featuring representatives from UN agencies and international development institutions.
Founded by Zaha Hadid, a recipient of the Pritzker Prize—often regarded as the "Nobel" of the architecture world—the company is renowned for its unique and futuristic designs. The bureau’s portfolio includes world-famous structures such as "The Opus" complex in the UAE, the King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center in Saudi Arabia, and the Alisher Navoi International Scientific Research Center in Tashkent.
