这座壮观的立面由著名的日本建筑师阿拉塔·泽扎基设计，看起来就像两棵缠绕在一起的树，支撑着外面的天篷。这棵树是沙漠中学习和安慰的灯塔，也是诗人和学者们聚集在树枝下分享知识的天堂。

Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Arata Isozaki., the spectacular façade resembles two intertwined trees reaching up to support the exterior canopy. The tree is a beacon of learning and comfort in the desert and a haven for poets and scholars who gathered beneath its branches to share knowledge.
