The architectural appearance of our capital is not just a harmony of white marble, but a living embodiment of the great traditions and advanced innovations of the Revival of the New Era of the Powerful State. It is with great joy and pride that we present a profound analytical material by our esteemed staff member, published on the pages of the reputable newspaper "Aşgabat" in issue No. 21 (10354) dated May 21, 2026. The author of the article is Kumush Allabayeva, a senior lecturer at the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute. Her publication titled "BINAGÄRLIK SUNGATYNYŇ DÜRDÄNESI" (The Pearl of Architectural Art) reveals the key aspects of the development of modern Ashgabat and the vital scientific and practical role that our institute plays in shaping the image of the city of the future.
In her article, the author emphasizes that thanks to the unprecedented efforts of the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Hero-Arkadag, and the esteemed President Arkadagly Hero Serdar, Ashgabat has turned into one of the most beautiful and architecturally perfect cities in the world. The Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute occupies a special place in this process. Today, our students, graduates, and young scientists are actively involved in the design of new facilities, the development of innovative "smart" city concepts, the implementation of energy-efficient "green" buildings, and ensuring the highest standards of seismic resistance. It is also highly symbolic that precisely on the day of the newspaper's release, namely May 21, the International Scientific and Practical Conference "White City Ashgabat — the Pearl of Architectural Art, the Hub of Science and Innovations" was held in a digital format, aimed at combining the advanced experience of domestic and foreign scientists.
We call upon all colleagues, postgraduates, and students to read this remarkable issue of the "Aşgabat" newspaper! This material will become a powerful source of inspiration for each of us, open up new horizons for scientific research, and remind us of the important contribution we make to the prosperity of our beloved white-marble capital.
