Qatar has announced plans to construct a gigantic rotating crystal ball for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, to host a sports museum and shopping center for tourists. The project concept was conceived by Danijel Koletić of Apriori Communications, who tasked architects Vedran Pedišić (SANGRAD) and Erick Velasco Farerra (AVP- arhitekti) to realize the idea.

In response Pedišić and Farerra have created the oversized crystal ball, designed to spin slowly in a spiral path around a central vertical axis.


By day the exterior takes on an iridescent effect, glittering with light of the sun and filtering daylight into the interior; by night the orb transforms into a glowing installation.
