Kazakhstan is becoming a Futuristic Capital, Complete With Pyramids

Kazakhstan’s new capital city of Astana has become the place of futuristic construction projects like the Palace of Peace and Reconciliation—modern pyramids and Khan Shatyry Entertainment Centre. Both were designed by the famous British architects knows as Foster + Partners. There designs include Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and American Air Museum. The Foster Pyramids were built in a rush — barely 22 months from conception to construction — for a triennial congress of world religions, the second of which was held in September, even before the building was really finished. The cost was only $70 million. The end product is a masterpiece. Check out the pictures:
