Eden Project Cornwall, UK
Grimshaw Architects - Dominic Cole Landscape Architects
The Eden Project is the largest botanical garden in the world. It is a scientific experiment which uses a highly innovative technology to create different climates. Combines ecology, horticulture, science, art and architecture, offering an informative and enjoyable experience while promoting ways to maintain a sustainable future depends on plants and trees. The exhibition includes more than one hundred thousand plants representing 5,000 species from many of the world’s climate zones.
The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by the English architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates. The challenge for this project was to design buildings that provide the environment to create different microclimates. The building opened its doors to the public in March 2001 with the first two phases built. The Eden Project covers 15 hectares of land located in an old clay quarry in St. Austell, Cornwall, UK.
The Humid Tropics Biome is the largest glasshouse in the world, covering 1.56 hectares. It measures 55 meters high, 100 meters wide and 200 long. Here is kept moist climate and dense rainforest, with orchards of bananas, coffee, rubber and bamboo, among others.
The smaller biome retains the warm temperate and arid areas, between 30 and 40 degrees latitude. It covers 0.65 hectares, 35 meters high, 65 wide and 135 meters long. Among the species that are home to vineyards and olives.
A third ecosystem, similar to Britain, is on display outdoors in the gardens surrounding the domes, with plants such as tea, lavender, hops and hemp. The exact location of the biomes on the site was determined by a sophisticated technique that shows where to get more sunlight each gain structure.
The Eden Foundation is the phase 3, which opened in 2003. The Core is part of the fourth phase of development. Eden Project provides an education facility, incorporating classrooms and exhibition spaces. Within the master plan for the whole site contemplating future ambitions, included the design of the access road project.

The Futuro house was a product of post-war Finland, reflecting the period's faith in technology, the conquering of space, unprecedented economic growth, and an increase in leisure time. It was designed by Suuronen as a ski cabin that would be "quick to heat and easy to construct in rough terrain". The end result was a universally transportable home that had the ability to be mass replicated and situated in almost any environment.
Futuro House at University of Canberra, Australia
The material chosen for the project — fibreglass-reinforced polyester plastic — was familiar to Suuronen and was previously used in the design of a large plastic dome for the roof of a grain silo in Seinäjoki. To facilitate transport, the house consisted of 16 elements that were bolted together to form the floor and the roof. The project could be constructed on site, or dismantled and reassembled on site in two days, or even airlifted in one piece by helicopter to the site. The only necessity on site for its placement were four concrete piers, so the project could occupy nearly any topography. Due to the integrated polyurethane insulation and electric heating system, the house could be heated to a comfortable temperature in only thirty minutes, from -29 to 15 °C (-20 to 60 °F).[1]
An excerpt from a February 1970 copy of Architecture d’aujourd’hui describes “Futuro” as:
the first model in a series of holiday homes to be licensed in 50 countries, already mass-produced in the United States, Australia and Belgium. The segments of the elliptic envelope are assembled on the site using a metal footing. Through its shape and materials used, the house can be erected in very cold mountains or even by the sea. The area is 50 sq m, the volume 140 cubic m, divided by adaptable partitions.
By the mid-1970s, the house was taken off the market. From the beginning, it had been met with public hostility. The first Futuro that was erected near Lake Puulavesi in Finland elicited public protest because it looked too unnatural for the rustic environment. In the United States, Futuro houses were banned from many municipalities by zoning regulations. Banks were reluctant to finance them. Some were vandalized. Some customers who committed to buy them backed out and forfeited their non-refundable $1,000 deposits.[2] Some have been destroyed. In 1999, the city of Tampa ordered a Futuro demolished.[3] Shortly after the turn of the century, a Futuro house was purchased on Broadkill Beach, Delaware, and destroyed to make way for a double-wide modular home. Some have been vandalized in drive-by shootings.[2] The oil crisis of 1973 tripled gasoline prices and made the manufacture of plastic more expensive.[4] Fewer than 100 were made and it is estimated that today around 60 of the original Futuro homes survive,[5] owned mostly by private individuals. The prototype (serial number 000) is in the collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Futuro no. 001, the only other Futuro currently in a public collection, is in the possession of the WeeGee Exhibition Centre in Espoo, Finland.[6]
A UK artist, Craig Barnes, purchased and restored a Futuro house in 2013 – 14.[7] He had discovered the wreck whilst on holiday in South Africa and had it shipped back to the UK before commencing restoration. The Futuro house — the only one in the UK — was on display to the public as part of an exhibition on the rooftop of an East London Gallery (until December 2014); the house was featured on the fourth series of the Channel 4 programme George Clarke's Amazing Spaces (Ep. 2[8]).
First Appearance - Detective Comics #463
The origins of the Calculator and the advanced technology that he used are unknown. He was known to have had one conflict with Mikaal Tomas, the alien Starman, before disappearing for years. When he returned, he began to progressively attack the Justice League of America, allowing them to defeat him once so his computer could deduce their methods, and then went on to defeat them on their second encounter.
The Calculator continued his spree in Gotham City, and was defeated by Batman, but quickly escaped and headed to Central City. There the entire JLA that he had defeated came to take him down, but he had prepared for this, and was able to defeat them. But he had not prepared for Batman entirely. Batman led Calculator into a trap by predicting how Calculator would try to counter him, and was able to defeat the villain and send him to jail.
This is where I work. The Information Technology College at the University of Bahrain. I like the modern minimalistic architecture in our office building. What do you think?
Just fired up Hugin and Qtpfsgui 1.9.3 after compiling them from source on my Ubuntu laptop. They work like a dream. This is a semi-panorama that was created as an HDR by Hugin.
Great thanks to all of the good and generous people involved in the development of Qtpfsgui and Hugin (and Ubuntu) for making this possible.
Whoda thunk? Air in a can...and you pay for it.....we used to call it "empty" HMM

My kindle, only owned by me for less than a month, is now being "borrowed" by my daughter, in the same way that she "borrows" the computer. She also uses my mobile phone on a regular basis to play games, she's more than competent on the Wii and and using the V+ box to record endless repeats of whatever the current favourite programme is.
She is definately a child of the 21st century and I wonder how out of date my kindle will seem in 20 years time when she is an adult. Will she look at it in much the same way we now remember a spectrum ZX81?
