Public Catering Facilities: Field Study of Students and Teachers at "Arkach" Shopping and Entertainment Center in Ashgabat

The year 2025, declared the "Year of International Peace and Trust," has inspired the entire Turkmen nation, especially the happy youth, to work even harder and contribute worthily to the achievement of our Motherland’s glorious milestones.

Thanks to the great initiatives of Hero Arkadag and the worthy continuation of the path of our ancestors by Arkadagly Hero Serdar, the appearance of villages and cities has transformed beyond recognition. Our capital is becoming one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and the standard of living of our people is continuously improving through large-scale developments.

On April 15, 2025, under the guidance of A. Ilmyradov, a lecturer at the Department of Architecture in the Faculty of Architecture and Construction, a field study was conducted at the "Arkach" Shopping and Entertainment Center in Ashgabat. The purpose of this visit was not limited to merely observing the exterior design of the building (restaurant) but also included studying:

Food preparation processes;

Customer service operations;

Management systems of the establishment.

This experience plays a crucial role in helping students design future tea houses and restaurant buildings. Before starting their design projects, students examined the actual spatial layout of the building and analyzed its structural and planning features from various perspectives.

As a result, this industrial training was highly beneficial for students, not only enhancing their academic knowledge but also allowing them to closely familiarize themselves with large-scale architectural projects in the country. The young students were deeply impressed by the experience, gaining new knowledge and practical skills in their professional field.
