Grand buildings - Sport facilities in Kazakhstan
Major international events like exhibitions, sports contests and music competitions become not only the drivers of tourism development but also leave behind bright architectural projects that eventually turn into business cards of the country. In Kazakhstan, such events were EXPO-2017 exhibition in Astana and World Student Games in Almaty, as well as the 7th Asian Winter Games of 2011.
Unusual buildings, unparalleled in the world or on the continent are the business card of Astana. Built in 2009, at the time of the opening Astana Arena was one of several stadiums in the world with an extendible roof. This expensive and complex engineering stunt allowed the capital to become a kind of football center of the country. After all, now in this field it is possible to train and conduct games all year round, regardless of the weather.
The stadium accommodates 30 000 football fans. Here is another feature of this structure. Initially the arena was conceived and subsequently implemented as an object for high football achievements. Other sports are not provided here. The exceptions are the concerts of those artists who can fill the thirty thousandth stadium.
Capital’s guests, fans and professional athletes note the convenience of the stadium. Here not only games are conducted, but also the capital's football club and the national team are training here.

KAZAKHSTAN - ASTANA 2, la mosquée Hazrat Sultan
Une très belle mosquée domine désormais le paysage urbanistique d'Astana, esthétique et élégante, elle peut accueillir environ 5.000 pèlerins.
euronews Life - Almaty: Kazakhstan's Garden City
The city of Almaty lies to the south of Kazakhstan, a stop off point in years gone by on the Silk Road, the great trading route that linked east and west.
Trade and economy are still at the heart of Almaty which was once the country's capital. It is the financial centre of central Asia and attracted some six million tourists last year. History, hot summers and a raft of winter sports on tap are among the top attractions.
In the hustle and bustle of modern development Almaty has not forgotten long held traditions like the famous steam baths, the Russian Banya.
Some like it hot first thing. Bagdat Yermagambedov has been taking the steam for 30 years.
Its a tradition here and everyone likes to start the week with a Banya to gather energy for the rest of the week, but what is a Russian bath without the steam - its not a bath! It's a great pleasure to come here to the steam rooms to re-charge our energy, he explained.
The vast Arasan complex was opened in 1982 and has been hailed as the best 'Banya' in central Asia. If a massage is not for you there are many other ways of ending your visit.
Some people like to start the day with a good thrashing; birch leaves pummel the skin and its supposed to stimulate the circulation to take the stress out of the day before you have even started. It doesn't so much hurt as it stings.
A morning in the Banya is perhaps the perfect preparation for a visit to the busy Green Bazaar. On the Silk Road it is Kazakhstan's biggest market and brings to life all the finest traditions of the Asian bazaar, buying selling and meeting people.
The word Almaty means city of apples and the region is believed to be the ancestral home of the apple as one stallholder pointed out: The apples from Almaty are considered to be top quality and we have many different varieties, and of those the most appetising, the most popular and well known, is this one here - the Aport.
Underground for the commuter its all less crowded where you can get a seat at any time of the day on the new metro.
Opened just six months ago the metro was 23 years in the planning and finished at an estimated cost of 900 million euros. The platforms and seven stations on the 8.5 kilometre stretch have gleaming marble floors.
Two more stations are set to open. Soon they will be buzzing with more passengers.
Beyond the city boundary you will hear the motto of a group of children echo in the mountain air. We don't take the easiest path, they chant.
Local climber Maxut Zhumayev started this childrens' camp. He is one of only 12 mountaineers to scale the 14 peaks over 8,000 metres without oxygen, a remarkable feat.
Not quite the heights which 11-year-old Iskander Temirtas is aiming for. At the summit he wants to take an easier route down but is told he can't. Maxut has banned mobile phones, iPads and computer games.
I want children to believe in themselves, in their power, their force. Its very important for me that they use me as an example so that they can see that you can climb Everest, you can be the strongest and win Olympic medals. There is nothing too difficult in this life, he said.
Maxut is hoping his philosophy will catch the imagination of a new generation and his mountain camps will grow to become an integral part of life in Almaty.

However, in the beginning of the third period, Daniil Ilin from Russia scored a goal. The home team tried to win back and attempted several attacks. The attempts were unsuccessful and the final score was 1:0. Russia won the gold, while Kazakhstan took the silver.
In the informal team rating of the Universiade, Russia took the first place (29 gold, 27 silver, and 15 bronze medals).

Contemporary art scene flourishing in Kazakhstan
(18 Sep 2018) LEADIN
A famous cinema from the Soviet era has been turned into a contemporary arts centre in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
It comes at a time when the contemporary art scene in the country is flourishing.
STORYLINE:
Almaty's iconic Tselliny cinema, a Soviet modernist gem, is on track to being fully restored and re-opened as a centre for contemporary art in 2020.
The centre is holding its inaugural exhibition 'The Beginning', exploring the history of the building and the architectural context of the town.
The man behind the project is Kazakh businessman Kayrat Boranbayev, who, according to the Tselliny centre's head of projects Djamilya Nurkalieva, sought to create a valuable public space.
He hopes to educate the wider public about contemporary art by enabling them to interact with multi-media art and exhibitions.
In 2017, the decision was taken to turn this centre into a centre for contemporary art. What does it mean, a centre for contemporary culture? It is educational activities, film-showings, lectures, workshops for children, it is the education of both the professional and wider audience, adds Nurkalieva.
Backers of the project say that the centre has generated a lot of public interest and is greatly needed.
Such centres are fundamental for the creation of dialogue between contemporary art, contemporary artists, culture and the general audience, says one of the curators of The Beginning exhibition, Ekaterina Golovatyuk.
Contemporary Kazakh art is currently flourishing as well as gaining international attention, being shown in cities across Europe and the United States.
Architect Asif Khan believes the centre will be a great place for global tourists to visit to understand more about the history and identity of the area:
It's a most appropriate layering, that a Soviet building, can be rethought in this contemporary era and we open it to artists to redefine its identity and our own identity, again and again and again, he says.
There are many buildings in the city that are examples of Soviet modernist architecture, like the Medey sports complex.
32-year old local artist Nurbol Nurakhmet says art in Kazakhstan is developing and growing.
In an interview in his studio, Nurakhmet says that the internet has had a huge impact on art as well as society, and points to how the tech-savvy younger generation has embraced new forms and digital art.
Co-curator of 'The Beginning' exhibition, Meruert Kalieva says the city is more vibrant because of the expanding art scene.
I think that right now is an excellent time for such a centre to open. Because there is a great demand from people, there is a great interest amongst young people, but before this there wasn't one place where one could gather those who like culture, arts, cinema, where one could hold seminars and discussions, she says.
