Right : The entertainment zone features the largest Marmoleum aqua jet installation in the world
The Entertainment Zone and Promotions Court The Entertainment Zone falls in the centre of a large atrium , flanked on either side by Nu- Metro cinema complexes and fast food outlets . It spills out onto the Half Moon Bay area of the canal . There are large video screens and booms where cameras can reflect what is happening in and around the centre . A company , Near Entertainment , has been developed in order to furnish the centre with an ongoing theatre concept . A choreographed series of shots of happenings around the centre will appear to the viewer as spontaneous occurrences . The decor consists of an eclectic mix of space ships in the West Piazza .
A striking feature in the Entertainment Zone is the Marmoleum floor , which has been laid in and around the food hall . The amount of traffic in the area required a durable and hard wearing surface , which made the choice of Marmoleum ideal . Made up of various intricate designs , this floor is the largest Marmoleum aqua jet installation in the world .
The Promotions Court has a Venetian Smalto Murano glass mosaic , which is the largest in the southern hemisphere ( the area can also be flooded ). The 600m 2 court had to meet extremely high technical requirements as it will be used as a submersed water feature and a high traffic floor for promotional purposes .
Produced in Italy under exclusive licence , the product is manufactured with 24 carat gold powder which gives the special highlight iridium mosaic a beautiful iridescent effect under light . The artwork and design was developed by Dennis Maas , of Monex Design , and the artistic realisation including design layout , was carried out by
