On Saturday, March 17 the Eden Project in Cornwall, England by Nicholas Grimshaw and Partners, and one of Great Britain's Millennium Projects, opened to the general public. But unlike the Millennium Dome in London the future is bright for this "showcase for global bio-diversity and human dependence upon plants". The diagram at left illustrates the focus of the design: two linked, climate-controlled biomes providing conditions for vegetational growth from humid tropics and warm temperate regions (with a third outdoor biome for Cornwall's climate).
