Bjarke Ingels’ architecture practice has set its sights on building an inflatable, 30-ton disco ball in the Nevada desert for the 2018 edition of Burning Man. Spearheaded by BIG partner Jakob Lange and the practice’s special project unit, The Orb is a reflective, 1:500,000 scale representation of the Earth that will have a diameter of 83 feet.
The mega-sculpture is a “mirror for earth lovers” and will be anchored to a 105-foot steel mast, acting as a beacon for festival goers.
