Staten Island is getting the world's largest observation wheel, but that's not the part of the project that the developer, Rich Marin, aka Big Rich, is the most excited about. He's most pumped about the 11,000-square-foot sustainability museum he wants to build on his half of the 14 acre site. Visitors will learn about things like this: "The observationpods?which operate on proprietary gyroscopes to remain level?will collect condensation as they make their 38-minute circuit, depositing two gallons each into the grey water system that runs the site's toilets." Fancy! Click through for the whole 6-page profile on Big Rich. [NYO; previously]
