English: Panoramic view of the geodesic dome structures of the
Eden Project. The Eden Project is a large-scale environmental
complex near St Austell, Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. The
project was conceived by Tim Smit and has quickly become one of the
most popular visitor attractions in the United Kingdom. The complex
includes two giant, transparent domes made of ETFE cushions, each
emulating a natural biome, that house plant species from around the
world. The first emulates a tropical environment, the other a warm
temperate, mediterranean environment. The project took 2 years to
construct and opened to the public in March 2001.Eden Project
