The other day was in Khan Shatyr Bashny.Net

I decided to share photos. Just 21 Picchu.





Khan Shatyr - one of the world's largest tent-shaped structures. Built in Astana with a special transparent material that transmits sunlight, through which also preserved the special climatic conditions (long live the warmth in the midst of the harsh prairie winters!)

The Kazakh language - tent Khan (Khan among the tents, not to be confused with khan tent) :-)

Briefly about the structure - a shopping and entertainment center, 150 meters in height with a spire 120 thousand square meters. Square, 6 floors, shopping malls the world's major brands, cinemas, spas, children's amusement park with rides, highlight - an artificial beach on the top floor.

The architect - Norman Foster. The cost of construction, if memory serves - 300 million. Dollars.



The entire structure rests on the tent just such Gizmos (a tripod)

There is a lot of greens (it is possible to use and figurative expression) :-)

The higher the floor, so feels warmer and more tropical flora.
