Architecture of Central Asia

Architecture of Central Asia refers to the architectural styles of the numerous societies that have occupied Central Asia throughout history. These styles include a regional tradition of Islamic and Iranian architecture, including Timurid architecture of the 14th and 15th centuries, as well as 20th-century Soviet Modernism. Central Asia is an area that encompasses land from the Xinjiang Province of China in the East to the Caspian Sea in the West. The region is made up of the countries of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan.^[1] The influence of Timurid architecture can be recognised in numerous sites in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan,^[2]^[3] whilst the influence of Persian architecture is seen frequently in Uzbekistan and in some examples in Turkmenistan.^[4] Examples of Soviet architecture can be found in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]^[10]
