A quick look at the history of Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan, made in the image of a single man - the country's president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev. "The pyramid (Lord Foster), the newest addition, occupies the current end of an axis through the city's center. It links the ostentatious presidential palace to a skeletal steel observation tower called Baiterek, which symbolizes a mythical tree of Kazakh legend where a bird named Samruk laid its eggs." NYT
