In May 2012, a futuristic building, looking very much like a flying saucer, became part of Tbilisi’s cityscape

Panacea from emergency - it really looks like a big tablet, though in the evening it reminds a flying saucer, which has parked on the shore

Modern Georgia is constructed from glass. They say that material was doubly successful: in addition to high technology, it blends harmoniously with the general line of the client architecture of the new wave, symbolizing the transparency of the state institutions
![Page 13: Georgia8 Tbilisi A walking tour3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052706/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

The number of reactionary oppositionists to such buildings’ policy is not small, but even they note that craving for crystal purity in terms of construction has added a couple of highlights to the city

The Baratashvili Bridge decorated by Georgi Japaridze with bronze figures of couples in love and Tbilisi's Public Service Hall is in the background of the photo
Named the Tbilisi Public Service Hall, the building houses an assortment of government organizations that include the National Bank of Georgia, the Ministry of Energy and the Civil and National Registry Agency

There's no additional roof over this hall, creating a 35-metre-
high space beneath the shelter of canopy
structures where customers can obtain passports, marriage registration, and other permits
and documents

The Baratashvili Bridge decorated by Georgi Japaridze with bronze figures
The architects (Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas) compare these structures to trees, and refer to their curved uppers as "petals" or "leaves”. Different departments are contained inside each of the seven perimeter blocks and a series of bridges connect them at the upper levels
![Page 23: Georgia8 Tbilisi A walking tour3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052706/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

The building is made up of 7 volumes that contain offices (each volume is made up of 4 floors located on different levels). These volumes are placed around a "central public square", which is the core of the project, where there is the front office services
![Page 26: Georgia8 Tbilisi A walking tour3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052706/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Offices are connected to each other by
internal footbridges that
stretches on different levels
![Page 27: Georgia8 Tbilisi A walking tour3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052706/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The "central public square” where there is the front office
services

Among the “petals”, that are
at different levels, are the glass
facades
![Page 30: Georgia8 Tbilisi A walking tour3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052706/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

The main characteristic of these facades is that these have been released
completely from the structure of
the petals, allowing relative
movements between the
facade and the spatial network
structure of coverage
![Page 33: Georgia8 Tbilisi A walking tour3](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052706/58ed8acb1a28ab74738b45fb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
This decision was taken to prevent
that any movement of the cover, mainly due to oscillations for snow loads, wind
or thermal expansion, can lead to the crisis
of the glass
