Astana has gained a new architectural landmark — the "Wall of Peace". This gift to the capital for its anniversary was presented by Aktobe Region. The installation was unveiled by the President of Kazakhstan on August 29, 2018, the International Day against Nuclear Tests, according to a correspondent from the Kapital.kz business information center.
The project is based on the idea of the country's president's anti-nuclear manifesto "Peace. XXI Century". The gift from the people of Aktobe was constructed on Independence Square, near the "Kazakh Eli" monument.
"Exactly 27 years ago, the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site was closed by presidential decree, marking the beginning of the country's process of renouncing one of the world's largest nuclear arsenals. According to the architects' concept, the wall, which creates barriers, transforms into a unifying and protective roof in the shape of a petal, thereby protecting and uniting peoples, gathering them into a single circle symbolizing the traditional Turkic Kurultai," noted the press service of Aktobe Region.

The complex, made of metal and natural stone, consists of 3 parts. The first symbolizes disunity and isolation, the second - hope, freedom and independence, the third - the path to preserving peace and interethnic harmony.
The body of the "Wall of Peace" is made of high-strength steel. The construction of the monument used 1,200 tons of granite with a total area of over 6,000 square meters. Also, the word "peace" is written in 51 languages on the memorial.
The transparent panels of the roof-canopy coating have a built-in LED system with an area of 616 sq. meters, consisting of 2.5 million LEDs. It allows broadcasting any bright digital images of large size. The image on the screen is output from the server room, which houses modern video, audio and switching equipment from leading European manufacturers.
It is expected that the unique art object will become an ideal place for political, cultural, mass, informational events, laser and other shows.
