The architects propose to introduce a multi-level transport network, which will include a direct connection to the underground public transport system. This will not only provide convenience for visitors, but also improve regional accessibility.

The ecological design of the complex is aimed at creating a low-carbon environment. All buildings will be equipped with active energy saving technologies, such as natural ventilation, climate system, solar photovoltaic panels on roofs and facades, and rainwater management system.
