Bjarke Ingels - Founder & creative director, BIG “We designed our addition to the Treehotel - the Biosphere - to create a unique experience for hotel guests, which takes inspiration from the qualities of the surrounding forest and absorbs them into the interior. The ecology is the driver behind the architectural expression.”
Bjarke Ingels - Founder and Creative Director, BIG Amenities for the officers provide spaces for relaxation and exercise, including lockers, showers, and a stress reduction courtyard with separate areas for fitness. The Precinct also houses dedicated space for detective and domestic violence units.
BIG proposes a simple and pragmatic arrangement of the performance venues draped in a soft, undulating exterior skin of photovoltaic tiles. The theatre’s form is reminiscent of the free-flowing shapes of a performer’s costume and the Xhubleta, a bell-shaped folk skirt traditionally worn by women in Kosovo.

Sandy developed from a tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea on October 22, quickly strengthened, and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Sandy six hours later. Sandy moved slowly northward toward the Greater Antilles and gradually intensified.
Superstorm Sandy was a massive storm that brought significant wind and flooding damage to the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S. in late October 2012. Flash flooding and coastal surges killed 147 people. It was among the most costly natural disasters in U.S. history.
