Project description

Samarqand Artisans’ Quarter Open-Air Museum

National craftsmanship is a heritage that has been passed down to us for centuries. Museums play a special role in presenting this legacy to people in a more accessible and meaningful way.

The project covers a total area of 387.5 m² and is organized into four main zones: a recreation area, a Samarkand paper production area, workshops and retail spaces, and a guest area.

Located in Samarqand, the site is approximately 11 km from Registan and 12.1 km from Samarqand International Airport. The masterplan also includes parking designed for 128 vehicles, ensuring convenient access for visitors.
