This was emphasized by Oskon Osmolov, doctor of historical sciences, anthropologist, professor during the designing cycle. One of the projects tasks was to create a touristic platform for Bishkek and a community center for the neighborhood.
Objective of the Asia Mall project was to develop:
- an original architectural character inspired by the national heritages
- take into account the historical-cultural origins of Kirghiz people
- create a new international format mall, to attract some global brands to Kyrgyzstan, for which there was no suitable platform.
- reflect the idea of an environmental paradise of the mountain nomads
- use modern high-tech with national color
Specialists of VDS design-center, were able to find a suitable image, with help of jointly defined formulations and selected analogues. A verbal description of the “steppe yurt” project: the outside cold is a warm light inside; warm fireplace light. Modern technology of architectural panels hinge, that allows smoothly repeat bends, images of mountain peaks in the facade outline, national ornament as a dеcor – is what allocates Asia Mall among other similar objects.
