Palace of Peace and Reconciliation (Pyramid of Peace)
The pyramid has been conceived and designed by architect Sir Norman
Foster and engineers Buro Happold and inaugurated in September
2006.
It contains accommodations for different religions: Judaism, Islam,
Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism and other faiths. It also
houses a 1,500- seat opera house, a national museum of culture, a
new “university of civilization”, a library and a
research center for Kazakhstan’s ethnic and geographical
groups. This diversity is unified within the pure form of a
pyramid, 62 meters high with a 62 x 62-meter base. The building is
conceived as a global center for religious understanding, the
renunciation of violence and the promotion of faith and human
equality. The Pyramid of Peace expresses the spirit of Kazakhstan,
where cultures, traditions and representatives of various
nationalities coexist in peace, harmony and accord. Bathed in the
golden and pale blue glow of the glass (colors taken from the
Kazakhstan flag), 200 delegates from the world’s main
religions and faiths will meet every three years in a circular
chamber — based on the United Nations Security Council
meeting room in New York.
