• Glistening energy-efficient Crystal Ball-Light of the Future structure to adorn Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup


  • Energy-efficient architecture today has scaled new heights, and the world is quickly realizing the need for sustainable ways to live. The 2022 FIFA World Cup might seem ages away, though hosts Qatar has already began drawing up green plans for the same. Recently, we spotted this beautiful twinkling architectural marvel that will soon show up in this Arab state, designed by Vedran Pedišić (SANGRAD) and Erick Velasco Farerra (AVP-arhitekti) and planned by Danijel Koletić of Apriori Communications. Called the Crystal Ball-Light of the Future, this shimmering orb-shaped structure will pack a sports museum and a shopping center and is reminiscent of a giant crystal-ball, using top-of-the-line technology to stay energy-efficient and eco-friendly. Resting on a vertical axis and spinning on a spiral path, the crystal ball makes slow revolutions around the center. Gracious, magnificent and terrifically beautiful, the structure is also energy efficient and will be yet another jewel in Qatar’s crown.
