Pentagonal, Phyllotactic Greenhouse and Education Center

Cornwall, England’s Eden Project is home to the world’s largest greenhouse, composed of geodesic domes that are made up of hexagonal and pentagonal cells. The social, environmental, and arts/education center is all about green living and considered that in every aspect of their design and programming. Their interactive education center dubbed “The Core” incorporated Fibonacci numbers (a math sequence that also relates to the branching, flowering, or arrangement of things in nature) and phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves) in its design.
