The Alisher Navoi International Scientific Research Centre will incorporate the Navoi State Museum of Literature, Auditorium, International Research Centre and School.

The centre’s arched facades and interiors will be crafted from bricks produced in Tashkent’s local kilns, echoing the rich geometries of Uzbekistan’s traditional architecture and celebrating the complexities of Uzbek literature and music.

Defined by passive design principles, the centre’s architecture provides optimal conditions for visitors, staff and students with minimum energy consumption.
