HISTORICAL FEATURES OF THE USE OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE NOMADIC WAY OF LIFE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARID REGIONS OF KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

This report briefly describes the main ideas and provisions for the restoration of nomadic architecture and urban planning in the arid regions of Kazakhstan, Central Asia, and similar territories and countries. This school of thought offers an alternative solution to environmental problems related to desertification, drought, and dehydration of the steppe and semi-desert regions of Eurasia.

The proposed solution is based on the nomadic civilization that has existed in these areas for thousands of years, with its significant differences: mobile pasture farming, mobile housing, developed transport, etc. With the use of modern technologies in construction, materials, efficient engineering systems, alternative energy sources, communications, information and knowledge exchange, this approach would allow the nomadic economy to reach a new technological level.

The report provides a brief overview of the historical architectural and engineering infrastructure of the nomadic society and its way of life, methods of using nomadic animal husbandry to regenerate soil and natural water resources and produce oxygen, as well as proposals for the introduction of nomadic culture and economy in modern Kazakhstan and similar countries around the world
