Architecture: NBBJ
Project: Amazon Spheres
Location: Seattle, USA
In the past month, this spherical bio-architecture from distant Seattle has been used as a reference in two different projects of ours. If this happens again, I’ll consider it a stable trend. Transferring a futuristic image from films and books is only feasible for corporate giants like Amazon with unlimited budgets. Setting a simple task of improving workspace for their employees, they can afford to "reinvent the bicycle":
Speaking of the Moon. Considering recent breakthroughs in "commercial" space and statements by some about building private orbital stations, I wouldn’t rule out that Amazon was testing a full-scale cluster model of this office for some lunar base.)

- An office amidst skyscrapers, but in a forest;
- A simple spherical shape, but with a devilishly elegant framework;
- Located in Seattle, although it could be placed anywhere, even on the Moon.
