EDEN PROJECT
Nicholas Grimshaw of Tim Smit
St. Blazey. Cornwall, Britain. 2001
This monumental ecological project set in an old quarry, meets one of the dreams of the inventor of the geodesic dome, Buckminster Fuller: encompass the maximum volume in minimum possible surface.
Architecture, inspired by the organic, is imaginative, appropriate and original. Grimshaw & Partners were chosen to design this project because of its experience in spherical shapes.
