Khan Shatyr

The Khan Shatyr has a unique design in the neofuturist style, like a giant glowing tent created to manage the extreme temperature range of the Central Asian steppe. This space is full of shopping and entertainment venues, with everything from a boating river to a mini-golf course. Designed by British architect Norman Foster, this is the 150 meters highest tent structure in the world. During the day, it is entirely flooded with sunlight; while at night, the Khan Shatyr is a site to see, lit up by bright lights that change colors.
