With a 39,694 sq.m construction site area, the project will be built on 7 main levels. The project architectural intend is based on the following basic principles: - The building has a base on which the public spaces will develop - The halls will emerge from the base as trees from the earth - The building should be covered and enclosed by one unique cantilevered roof, linked by curved glass walls to the base - Spaces inside the building are distributed around and from a central circulation and meeting point. This should apply to the public as well as to the performers and the VIP's - The public space should be open and adaptable in order to increase the potential of use of the building - The performers should be provided with an efficient and agreeable working space - The three performance halls should be different in form and use different materials - The outside walls of the three halls will use enamel ceramic as their main common material - The material of the façades will be a glass incorporating a perforated metal sheet of variable density - The façades design itself will express innovation, modernity and enhance the public areas - Although secondary in their functional importance, the public spaces will define the character of the building and its filting with the spirit of the time.
