Mosaic bus stops

Together with ArchCode, we've mapped and documented Almaty's unique mosaic bus stops, working to get them protected by the city. >>> 

Terekty mosaic

After learning that a mosaic had been destroyed in the suburb of Terekty, we staged an intervention and inspired a donor to save a second mosaic. >>> 

House of Scholars mosaic

Kazakhstan's only large-scale pietra dura mosaic was covered up by a wooden board for nearly twenty years. We're making it accessible to visitors for the first time. >>> 

Pedestrian tunnel bas-relief

The city planned to standardize the design of all Almaty's pedestrian tunnels, slating a stunning bas-relief for demolition. We met with municipal leaders, saved the bas-relief, and paved the way for its renovation. >>>

"Silk Road" bas-relief

In a quiet residential courtyard, we found a bas-relief that was covered in grime and graffiti. With the artist Roman Zakharov and a team of volunteers, we painted the relief and brought it back to life. >>>
