ATRIUM
The Multifunctional Building with the Atrium is not inferior to the Tower in its complexity. The length of the building’s facade is 274 meters. The blocks are up to 85 meters in height. In its shape, the building resembles an ice ridge or a ship’s sail. More than 50 types of facade glazing are used in the building. Natural soft light comes through the polymer membrane roof.
The Atrium of the Multifunctional Building is the main area for the public spaces, educational, exhibition and concert ones. Some of them are already functioning, while others are being created at the moment. The public spaces are aimed at providing conditions for creative and intellectual development of the city residents and tourists.
The space ball soaring in the Atrium is a shell of the ultra-modern Planetarium. It features a whole range of hi-tech solutions, from the surround sound effect and hall transformation systems to the dome screen made of perforated, acoustically transparent aluminum sheet and astronomy simulation software for the visualization control.
