KERIMKULOV Mukhtar Orozbekovich
Architect. Born in 1956 in the village of Krasnooktabrsky, Sokuluk District, Kyrgyz SSR.
In 1978, he graduated from the architectural faculty of the Frunze Polytechnic Institute. After graduating, he worked at the branch of the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction in Frunze.
In 1980, he moved to the State Design Institute "Kyrgyzgiprostroy," where he worked in the resort and sanatorium construction workshop. He is currently the head of the architectural group.
Member of the Union of Architects of the USSR since 1983.
Mukhtar Kerimkulov entered architecture through science. A significant development during this period was the creation, as part of a team, of project proposals for the so-called "carpet development." This is a low-rise type of high-density residential development, which is necessary in areas with high seismic activity, on plots with limited building heights, in conditions of complex terrain or harsh climates. Thanks to a special compositional technique, this type of development achieves a density comparable to that of multi-story buildings.
Since 1980, he has worked together with architect K. Ibraev. They are united by a shared vision and creative approach to solving architectural problems. An architect of great inner culture and soft lyrical disposition, M. Kerimkulov skillfully manipulates architectural form, composition, and color. From 1980 to 1985, he participated in the development of projects for the "Issyk-Kul" hotel building at the VDNH of the Kyrgyz SSR, the branch of the Central Museum of V. I. Lenin in Frunze, and the "Ai-Pery" salon on Lenin Avenue in Frunze. Here, in collaboration with his colleagues, he achieved significant expressiveness and brightness in architectural images. These buildings demonstrate not only a high concern for human beings but also embody the beauty of a healthy living organism of architecture.
A master of model-making, a skilled draftsman, and a thoughtful architect — these are the qualities that allow him to create architecture filled with many meanings and forms, emotionally rich, and enriched with national symbolism. He combines extensive creative work with public activities.
