Dezeen's top 10 installations of 2018
Installations were bigger than ever in 2018, from a six-metre-high Trump blimp to an inflatable mirrored sphere at Burning Man festival. For our review of 2018, social media editor Sabina Sohail selects her top 10.
Trump Baby, UK
A six-metre-high blimp picturing Donald Trump as a cartoon baby took flight over London's Houses of Parliament during the American president's visit to the UK in July.
The comical project was created as a symbol of the public's opposition to the visit, and was approved by London mayor Sadiq Khan.

The Orb, USA, by BIG
BIG architects Bjarke Ingels and Jakob Lange used a $50,000 (£37,907) crowdfunding campaign on website Indiegogo to help them take their "giant reflective art piece" The Orb to the annual Burning Man festival.
Images later emerged by photographer Alex Medina showing that the structure, although certainly grand in scale, was not as reflective as originally planned, thanks to the volume of dust moving across the desert site.
