The MSG Sphere in Las Vegas drew global attention when it was unveiled last week. Here are 10 recent examples of spherical architecture from around the world.
Billed as the world's largest spherical structure, the MSG Sphere's 54,000-square-metre LED screen was illuminated last week ahead of its official opening in September.
The building is the latest example of a building that incorporates a spherical element, with shops, museums, offices and libraries also using the geometric shape.
Here are 10 recent examples of spherical architecture:
Apple Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, by Foster + Partners
Designed by British architecture studio Foster + Partners, this Apple Store in Singapore is set within a spherical building that appears to float in Singapore's Marina Bay. Set to open within the next couple of weeks, the store is completely surrounded by water and will be accessed by a bridge from the waterfront promenade and an underwater tunnel that connects it to the Marina Bay Sands shopping centre.
