Architect, lecturer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Co-Directing Urban Design and Planning Development at Drees and Sommer Haris Piplas told Trend he’s impressed by the rapid restoration activities in Azerbaijan’s liberated territories.
“This is my second visit to Azerbaijan in the last two months. I was in Baku at the National Urban Forum as a speaker, where I presented our work in the field of international architecture and urban planning in Western Europe, China, Asia, and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region,” Piplas said.
“Before this, I had only visited Baku, but I learned from special representatives, colleagues, and many foreign friends about the developing dynamics in different parts of Azerbaijan. However, today, being here in Zangilan, I observe how infrastructure development is taking place on the spot,” he noted.
Azerbaijan faces a challenge: how to build quickly but qualitatively, how to comply with international standards and UN global paradigms while considering l
ocal customs, added the expert.
The visit of high-ranking foreign experts, state officials and representatives of international think tanks to Zangilan started on December 5.
They are taking part in the conference “Karabakh: Homecoming after 30 years. Achievements and Challenges”. The delegation includes 60 representatives from 30 countries.
