The prestigious Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) is set to participate in the 25th "White City Ashgabat" International Exhibition and Conference, scheduled for May 24–25, 2026, in the capital of Turkmenistan. Under the theme "Architecture. Innovation. Sustainable Development," the event will bring together over 100 companies from 25 countries to explore modern urban planning, digital solutions, and the long-term "Ashgabat 2045" development vision.

ZHA’s involvement brings a profound international dimension to the forum. Founded by the late Pritzker Prize winner Dame Zaha Hadid, the studio is a global leader in merging avant-garde design with structural innovation. Their portfolio includes landmark projects such as "The Opus" in Dubai and the eco-friendly "BEEAH" headquarters in Sharjah. Their work on the Alisher Navoi International Scientific Research Centre in Uzbekistan highlights their expertise in translating cultural heritage into contemporary architectural language within Central Asia.

The conference will serve as a platform for advancing investment initiatives and discussing sustainable urban transformation. ZHA’s participation offers Turkmen professionals a valuable chance to learn from one of the world's most influential design practices. Registration for the event remains open until May 17, 2026, via the official website.
