Central Asia‘s architectural heritage flourished during the period of ancient 
civilizations that thrived along the Silk Road. These civilizations, marked by their vibrant 
trade networks and cultural exchange, left an enduring legacy in the region‘s architectural 
landscape. 
Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC). The Bactria-Margiana 
Archaeological Complex (BMAC) played a significant role in shaping Central Asia‘s 
architectural development. Flourishing between the 3rd and 2nd millennia BCE, the BMAC 
encompassed regions of modern-day Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and 
Afghanistan. Its cities, such as Gonur Depe and Merv, displayed advanced urban planning, 
sophisticated irrigation systems, and distinctive architectural features. 
The architecture of the BMAC featured monumental structures, including fortified 
citadels, palaces, and temples, constructed using mud bricks and characterized by 
impressive defensive walls and imposing gateways. The intricate planning and monumental 
scale of the BMAC cities reflect the region‘s sophisticated urban civilization [1].
