Eden Project
The Eden Project ((コーンウォール語:Edenva)) is a visitor attraction in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Inside the artificial biodomes are plants that are collected from all around the world. The project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located from the town of St Blazey and from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.〔Ordnance Survey (2005). ''OS Explorer Map 107 – Fowey, Looe & Lostwithiel''. ISBN 0-319-23708-7.〕
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of plant species,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Rainforest Biome )〕 and each enclosure emulates a natural biome. The domes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel frames. The first dome simulates a tropical environment, and the second a Mediterranean environment.
The name ''Eden Project'' stems from the 1994 TV series Earth 2.
==Design and construction==
The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Our history )〕 did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
