Architectural Echoes of the “International Year of Peace and Trust”: A Practical Lesson for Students and Lecturers at the “Gorogly” State Equestrian Circus of Arkadag City

The year 2025, declared as the “International Year of Peace and Trust”, began with significant progress in all sectors. One of the national values preserved by the Turkmen people for centuries is the Akhal-Teke horses. These remarkable horses are not only famous in Turkmenistan but also enjoy great popularity in various corners of the world. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our Arkadagly Hero Serdar, the material and technical infrastructure of the equestrian sector is continuously modernized, and the working and living conditions of those employed in this field are improved.

The reputation of Turkmen horses is also highly regarded at the international level. A clear proof of this is the great success of the “Galkynysh” national equestrian games team at the international circus arts festival held in Monaco’s Monte Carlo. The skill of Turkmen horsemen and the agility and endurance of Akhal-Teke horses made a significant impression at this event.

On March 4, 2025, under the leadership of the head of the “Architecture” department of the Faculty of Architecture and Construction, A. Gubayeva, and together with the department’s students, a practical training session was held at the “Gorogly” State Equestrian Circus in Arkadag City to closely familiarize students with the architectural and construction features of the circus building.

During the training session, students were provided with detailed explanations about the architectural solutions of the circus building, construction features, engineering systems, and operational characteristics of the buildings. Experienced professionals and teachers shared information with students about the building’s installation work, decorative features, and modern equipment.

Throughout the training, students collected practical data that they could apply in their architectural projects. They also gained in-depth experience regarding the construction features of the equestrian circus and enhanced their knowledge in the field of architecture.

As a result, this practical training proved to be very effective for the students. It not only enhanced their level of knowledge but also gave them the opportunity to closely familiarize themselves with the large-scale projects underway in our country’s equestrian sector. The students were greatly impacted by this experience and gained new knowledge and skills that will help them in their professional careers.
