The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England, housed in a reclaimed china clay pit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw in the high-tech architectural style. Completed in 2000, the complex is dominated by two enormous interconnected biomes—geodesic domes of tubular steel covered in hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal inflated cells made of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE)—each simulating a distinct natural environment. The larger biome recreates a rainforest ecosystem and ranks among the world's largest indoor rainforests, while the second reproduces a Mediterranean climate. Beyond these striking enclosures lies an outdoor botanical garden showcasing plants native to Cornwall and the United Kingdom, many with prehistoric heritage or significant historical connections. Operated by the registered charity the Eden Trust, the project has inspired plans for a sister facility in Morecambe, Lancashire, focused on the marine environment.
