The Ericsson Globe – or Globen – in Stockholm is the world’s largest spherical building. It was designed by Berg Arkitektkontor, opened in 1989 and has a diameter of 110 metres and a ceiling height of 85 metres.
I saw it when I visited Stockholm in 2002 — fantastic city! Globen looks smaller in person, to be honest. But it’s big enough to host concerts and pro hockey games.

Man I was hoping this was a biosphere and those people have been there since the 80s without being outside. Imagine that, no influence from the outside world.

We are the Berg. Lower your shields.

I’m American, so I can only assume this structure is somewhere between slightly larger than a normal sized American home and Mount Everest…
