Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center, Entertainment center in Astana, Kazakhstan.
The center features a transparent tent-shaped structure rising 150 meters high with an elliptical base measuring 200 by 195 meters in Astana.
The architectural project, announced by President Nursultan Nazarbayev in December 2006, marked the beginning of modern architectural development in Kazakhstan's capital.
The tent design connects with Kazakhstan's nomadic traditions, as Khan Shatyr translates to Tent of the Khan in the Kazakh language.
The center maintains internal temperatures between 15-30°C throughout the year, protecting visitors from external temperatures that range from -35°C to 35°C.
The structure includes an indoor beach resort with real sand imported from Maldives, providing a summer experience during Kazakhstan's severe winters.
