The casino serves as a hub for the whole complex. All other programmes are directly linked to and can be accessed from the central casino space. The typology of the hangar serves a model here for an internalised environment that affords spatial excitement, incites a sense of exploration and provides orientation within the complex. The TWA terminal at JFK, and Ken Adam’s film sets for James Bond are relevant precedents to such a space.
The casino, retail, hotel facilities, theatres, and exhibition centre are enveloped by an undulating roof surface that forms an accessible park. This park provides an elevated urban space, high level linkage between the programmes, as well as the hotel’s outdoor facilities.
The hotel and apartments towers connect to the shopping mall and casino below through a dramatic 150 meter tall twisting void. This void both provide light deep into the lower retail spaces as well as creating, physical and visual links between the conventionally disjoint towers and the podium.
The roof structure of the landscape is supported by depressions within the surface forming circular groups of columns. The “eyes” within the landscape provide light down to the podium spaces, and may serve as outdoor courtyard spaces.....more
