NATIONAL UNITY SQUARE

National Unity Square in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, is an extraordinary architectural project designed by the visionary Wizhevsky Architect, Lex Wizhevsky. This ambitious cultural and business center not only marks the 30th anniversary of Tajikistan's independence but also encapsulates the rich heritage and symbols of the nation through its innovative design. The project is centered around the emblem of the Republic of Tajikistan, creating a landmark that will be visible to incoming flights, thus welcoming visitors with a powerful representation of the country’s identity.

At the heart of National Unity Square lies the Samani Tower, an iconic skyscraper shaped like a crown and scepter, standing tall at 254 meters. This structure is more than just a building; it symbolizes the 8-point crown of King Samani and represents the aspirations of the Tajik people. Surrounding the tower is an ultra-modern hotel and business complex, covering an impressive area of 162,000 square meters. This combination of functionality and symbolism makes the Samani Tower a pivotal feature of the skyline of Dushanbe, expected to become the tallest building in the republic and a beacon of architectural excellence.

Complementing the Samani Tower is Expoforum, the largest international convention and exhibition center in Tajikistan. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as a premier venue for a variety of events, including exhibitions, congresses, and cultural gatherings. Expoforum's unique design, featuring pavilions that resemble the snow-capped mountain peaks of Tajikistan, provides a stunning backdrop for any event. With a total exhibition space reaching up to 35 meters in height, it fosters an inspiring environment for innovation and collaboration.

The public areas surrounding these monumental structures are designed with care to enhance the visitor experience. A main public area of 56,000 square meters, complete with a canopy that symbolizes an open book, will serve as a gathering space for residents and tourists alike. The centerpiece of this area is a round square featuring a sun symbol, surrounded by lush greenery, fountains, and swimming pools, creating a serene oasis amidst the bustle of city life. This thoughtful landscaping not only beautifies the environment but also promotes community interaction and leisure.

Finally, the complex includes high-level residences that pay homage to the cultural regions of Tajikistan. These residences, designed in the shape of a 5-pointed star, offer autonomy and luxury for residents. The development also features retail spaces and underground parking, all integrated into a harmonious design that respects the natural landscape. By attracting tourists and investors, National Unity Square aims to be a catalyst for growth, embodying the spirit of patriotism and progress that defines Tajikistan today.
