General area of the EXPO-2017 exhibition complex is huge: it equals to 174 hectares or 1.74 square kilometers. 25 hectares out of it is given to exhibition zone that will place National pavilion of Kazakhstan, international, thematic and corporate pavilions. The rest of the area is occupied by a conference-center, press-center, indoor city, residential houses and hotels, trade and entertainment facilities. All of the new facilities are subject to the main theme of the exhibition - "Future energy".
National pavilion of Kazakhstan, built in the shape of the sphere, is a gem of architectural achievements of EXPO-2017. Latest technologies are used the pavilion’s work. Thus, energy consumption in the building will be reduced thanks to functioning of two silent wind generators.

The National Pavilion divided into two major zones occupies the base of the Sphere on the area of 5000 square meters. The first zone is an introduction to Kazakhstan; it will present landscapes, culture, past, present and future of the country. In the zone "Creative energy" the best projects of local scientists on "green economy" will be demonstrated.
Each level of the Sphere will be specialized in a separate theme of energetics- space, sun, wind, biomasses, water and kinesthetic energy. The last level will show Nur Sultan of the future- the way it will be in 2050.

The pavilion "Best Practices Zone" will demonstrate 25-30 best world practices in the sphere of production, preservation and transportation of renewable sources of energy. The concluding part is "General zones" dedicated to the conceptual basis of future energy.

Pavilion "Nur Alem": The architectural symbol of the Nur Sultan EXPO-2017 Exhibition is the central element of the Exhibition Complex: Nur Alem. It will be the world's largest spherical building with the diameter of 80 and height of 100 meters. At the first floor of the building, the Pavilion of Kazakhstan will be placed where visitors will be able to acquaint themselves with the history, culture, traditions, places of interest and also recent achievements of Kazakhstan. In the Sphere itself, the Museum of Future will be situated. More than just a museum, ‘Nur Alem’ must become an innovational hub of the sort and important research and culture center after the Exhibition. Digital, multimedia and interactive technologies will allow enhancement of perception of the display area at the second through eighth floors of the Museum of Future, where the basic types of energy will be demonstrated: those of the space, sun, biomass, wind, water and kinetics. It will be possible to ascend by elevators to the view point in the upper part of the building, from where a beautiful view of the whole EXPO area will open. Just before the entrance, the Main Square is situated where the Exhibition visitors will gather.

The singularity of the construction is that it will be the world’s first ‘complete sphere’ building. Integration of photovoltaic elements into the façade design allowing conversion of sunlight energy into electric one is planned. Two wind generators are also provided for at the upper part of the sphere.
