Globe of Science and Innovation, Scientific exhibition center at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.
The spherical building reaches 27 meters in height and 40 meters in diameter, consisting of two concentric spheres made from five wood types.
Initially constructed for Expo.02 in Neuchâtel as Palais de l'Equilibre, the structure moved to its current location at CERN in Geneva during 2004.
The exhibition space introduces visitors to fundamental particle physics through displays and presentations about scientific research and technological advancement.
Located in Meyrin, the center welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM without entrance fees.
The wooden structure contains 18 arches covered by panels that form interior walls, functioning as a natural carbon storage system.
