In the period of independence, the use of natural stone (limestone) aglay has once again taken a prominent place in shaping Baku’s architectural identity. Owing to its aesthetic appeal and durability, the material has been successfully applied in many residential and public projects. Among the architects who applied natural limestone (Aglay) in their projects are such renowned figures as Mirzaga Aliyev, Samir Yusifzade, Senan Sultanov, Gulara Mammadova, Abuzer bey Rzayev, Adolf Eichler, Altay Mir-Baghirov, Davud Akhundov, Elbay Gasimzade, and Elchin Aliyev.Furthermore, international architectural firms such as F+A Architects, Chapman Taylor, and Atkins have also emphasized the use of aglay stone in their Baku projects.
