Largest Tent In The World


The grand opening of the Foster + Partners' designed Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center earlier this month created quite a buzz in the architecture world.
Not only is this the largest tent in the world -- it is also located in Astana, the new capital of Kazakhstan, which is a difficult environment to erect such an audacious project.
Measuring 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.
