Heydar Aliyev Center

The Heydar Aliyev Center Azerbaijan includes a new national museum, library and concert hall. The core element of the design by Zaha Hadid Architects is the unity between the plaza, the surrounding landscape and the double-curved building envelope.

Flowing Transitions Between Floor, Wall and Ceiling

The complex geometry of the building and the geographical location of the construction site were particular challenges for Werner Sobeks facade engineering. An aesthetically unique building skin was created in which floor, wall and ceiling merge into one another without transitions.

In autumn 2016, the building was shortlisted for the RIBA International Prize by a prominent jury.
