Baku (Azerbaijani: Bakı, IPA: [bɑˈcɯ]) is the capital and largest city of Azerbaijan, as well as the largest city on the Caspian Sea and of the Caucasus region. Baku is located 28 metres (92 ft) below sea level, which makes it the lowest lying national capital in the world and also the largest city in the world located below sea level. It is located on the southern shore of the Absheron Peninsula, which projects into the Caspian Sea. The city consists of two principal parts: the downtown area and the old Inner City (21.5 ha). At the beginning of 2009, Baku's urban population was estimated at just over two million people. Officially, about 25 percent of all inhabitants of the country live in Baku's metropolitan area.
Baku is divided into eleven administrative districts (raions) and 48 townships. Among these are the townships on islands in the Baku Bay and the town of Oil Rocks built on stilts in the Caspian Sea, 60 km (37 mi) away from Baku. The Inner City of Baku along with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. According to the Lonely Planet's ranking, Baku is also among the world's top ten destinations for urban nightlife.

Central Asia's first carbon neutral master plan in Baku, Azerbaijan "Zira Island proposes an architectural landscape derived from the natural landscape of Azerbaijan". Caucasus has long been called "The Alps of Central Asia". The natural landscape continue to play an important role in present day Azerbaijan. Shaped by the Caucasus Range towards the north and the coastline of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is a strategic gateway between east and west full of contrasts and contradictions. The landscape of Azerbaijan includes many snow-capped peaks exceeding 4.000 meters, lush green valleys towards the south and large swathes of arid semi-desert in between. Just a few hours drive away from timeless mountain villages clad in lush orchards sits the Azerbaijani capital of Baku which in Persian m...

Baku Flame Towers is a striking new addition to the skyline of Baku. Located atop a hill on the Caspian Sea overlooking Baku Bay and the old city center, the three towers were inspired by Azerbaijan's ancient history of fire worshipping, and will illuminate the city and act as an eternal flame for modern Baku. The goal of the project was to create a low-resolution media façade to display video content, while integrating inconspicuous lighting fixtures into existing architecture. To meet the project requirements, Traxon created a special fixture, to be installed behind the buildings' windows and give the allusion of ribbons of light. The main challenge of this project was the varying window dimensions, and that the maximum gap between fixture and window frame needed to be less than 15mm. Wi...

This summer, I got the chance to fly to Azerbaijan and get to know the country, being sponsored by socar and e.on. I honestly had the best time of my life with a lot of great openminded people. The most beautiful country I've ever seen, definitely want to go back someday. Sadly a lot of footage got deleted by my brother, so you don't get to see everything... Still a lot of the many beautiful places got included into the video, and I'm really proud of the result.

The other day I said to you
I know what you want to do
I could never sit around
While you´re feeling down
And I could never compromise
My situation lies
And I would never feel the same
Would you be the blame?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Locked inside of
Torn in spite of
I don´t want to, I don´t want to know
Sometimes when you´re all alone
Hiding what you´re thinking of
I could never sit around
While you´re feeling down
I could never see my self
Chasing something else
I would never get away
Would you feel the same?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Trapped inside of
Torn in spite of
I don´t want to, I don´t want to know
Sometimes when I´m all alone
Feeling what you´re thinking of
And I could never sit around
Chained to frozen ground
I could never see my self
Playing for something else
And I could never walk away
Would you feel the same?
Would you leave me
Still uneasy
Trapped inside of
Torn in spite of
