Eden Project consists of gigantic domes known as biomes which houses tropical and Mediterranean plants from all over the world. Seen from Google Earth's satellite imagery, the scale of this massive greenhouse becomes apparent.
The dome consists of hexagons and pentagons that holds them together at the very apex of the dome. The hexagonal cells are actually pockets of pressurized air, working together to insulate the interior of the biomes.
Looks familiar? A kampung house in Eden Project! Complete with sarongs hanging outside the wooden houses on stilts. The only giveaway that this setting was not natural was the presence of the lattices of the biomes.
To complete the image, there were even two Malaysians fanning 'Lemang'- bamboo cooked rice grilled over a coal fire. Talk about nostalgic colleagues working far from home...
