Скачать или смотреть The Eden Project - Tropical Biome

The Eden Project consists of two vast biomes plus outdoor gardens and a Gallery at the bottom of a disused china clay pit in Cornwall, UK. Construction began in 1988, the site is 15m below sea level and was badly flooded at the start of construction. It opened in March 2001.
The Rainforest Biome is 55m at its highest and covers 3.9 acres. The Mediterranean Biome reaches 35m and covers 1.6 acres.
These structures are self-supporting and constructed of inflated thermoplastic cells held by a tubular steel frame.
The only mains water used is for hand washing and cooking, everything else is rainwater. Electricity is provided by wind turbines and geothermal electricity, the biomes themselves are heated by geothermal energy - a well was sunk nearly 3 miles down and a vacuum insulated tube inserted to bring hot water to the surface which is then run through a heat exchange.
