Architectural Renderings House-World’s Biggest Tent in Astana : The Khan Shatyr



Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center it’s the largest tent in the world with 150 meters tall with a 200 meter radius and 100,000 square meters contained within the translucent canopy, this is one of the most visually striking projects we’ve seen this year.


Designed by Foster + Partners, this mega tent located in Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan that created quite a buzz in the architecture world.


The project that developed by Foster + Partners had to withstand the extreme temperature swings of the elevated and arid region. Although the outside temperature varies from -35 degrees to +35 degrees Celsius, the interior maintains a hospitable 15-30 degrees.

To stand in the winter season, three translucent layers of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene fabric or EFTE act to send out warm air. In the summer, cooler air displaces the hot air vented from the top.


The transparency and scale of the tent stands out in the skyline like a beacon, changing colors at night and streaming in natural light during the day.


The building shelters has various entertainment venues for the people of Kazakhstan, including events facilities, a shopping mall, a movie complex, an elevated water park, and multiple eateries. The Khan Shatyr Center provides a powerful symbol for a country that is breaking from its isolation to join an increasingly interconnected world.
