II. Eden Project, United Kingdom
1. Nicholas Grimshaw
2. 2000
3. St Blazey, Cornwall, UK
4. Open to the public
5. No
6. Greenhouse Purposes
7. I really wanted to look into this building because of the design and purpose behind it. The greenhouse is shaped sort of into a honeycomb shape that a bee would use. I like how the greenhouse is very abstract and doesn't look like a normal green HOUSE would, the designers and architect actually put in the time to make the greenhouse no look like a greenhouse.

2. 1963
3. Golden, Colorado
