Despite what Borat's movie might have you believe, Kazakhstan is not a broke down poor country completely lost in the sea of western and industrialized nations. They have a strong democracy and its capital Astana, is quickly becoming one of the most spectacular urban centers in central Eurasia. The city's latest endeavor is the Khan Shantyry Entertainment Centre. The structure is a vast tent and cabling system soaring high into the air encompassing 100,000 square meters! The concept came from the people's need for a safe environment during the harsh winters and summers. The structure will become that venue housing a park, entertainment, landscaping, wave pools and retail space. 200 meters above the base will be terrace offering dramatic views of the park, city and sky.
