When visiting The Eden Project, there's one part that you don't usually hear about. This is the Core, otherwise known as Eden's education centre. Just like the biomes, I was really impressed with the architecture of the building. It actually tells you inside all about how it's actually one of the most sustainable buildings in the world having been designed on nature. Obviously the most striking feature is the roof, made from an intricate web of curved timberbeams. It's actually based on the fibonacci sequence (a pattern found in many natural forms). I read inside that the idea here was to mimic the way daisys work together to create a base for insects to land. After last year's course in Design Theory, I found learning about the architechture really interesting.
