Astana has been the capital of Kazakhstan since 1997, and is the country's second largest city (after Almaty, the former capital) with an officially estimated population of 775,800 as of 21 June 2012. It is located in the north portion of Kazakhstan, within Akmola Province, though administrated separately from the province as a federal city area (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astana)

Some of the buildings are very tacky but they create a beautiful skyline :cheers:

First of all, Thank you by stopping by. Secondly, I have to agree with your notice but this city is really experiencing a new life with tremendous energy flow. I will post in the future buildings under construction. One of it is going to have 88 floors. Again, welcome in here :cheers:

Central Asia, whose city Astana is one of the most important city, is half-way between Europe, China and the Middle-East. I wonder if the Architecture of Astana resembles more a European Architecture or maybe a Middle-East Architecture or maybe a Chinese Architecture. It is difficult to say.

I am not an expert in architecture but Astana buildings resemble both Asia and Europe and you can also find resemblance of Middle-Eastern architecture there too. It is a good mix. Recently, I noticed some buildings carry Kazakh ornaments on them too. You can find there a little bit of everything. The city is not finished yet to make any conclusion about its architecture. In 5 or 7 years from now on we can make comparison but not now.
