Baku
Flame Towers is a striking new addition to the skyline of Baku.
Inspired by Azerbaijan’s long history with fire worshipping, the towers
will be an eternal flame for a modern Baku.
Located on the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan, the site is situated on a hill overlooking Baku Bay, the old city center and the park. With a site area of approx 28,000 ㎡, the project brief requires the development of detailed drawings for 3 towers located on a retail podium. The total construction built up area of the project is 234,500 ㎡.
Named the City of Winds in Old Persian, people sought its protection against adversity and oppression, begged it for happiness and well being. These ancient fires are believed to have given Azerbaijan its name, which is thought by some researchers to mean “land of fires”.Design of the Towers is a response to this fire worshipping, providing a new eternal flame of modern Baku.
