A rich external landscape is also incorporated, with surface parking in front of the building and an amphitheatre, stage and large LED screen forming a focal point. Design themes relate to Kazakh landscape and iconography and include motifs based on mountain lakes and streams, a Kazakh marketplace as well as poppies and eagles. These are integrated with a number of unique artworks specially commissioned from local artists for the project.
