Dome greenhouse, Geodesic dome greenhouse in Düsseldorf, Germany.

The greenhouse spans 36 meters in diameter and features triangular acrylic glass panels supported by an external metal framework structure.

The greenhouse was constructed in 1974-1975 following designs by Georg Lippsmeier and Partner in collaboration with Karl Krass.

This structure stands within the Botanical Garden of Heinrich Heine University, serving as a research and educational facility for plant sciences.

The dome includes automated windows controlled by metal struts inside the structure, maintaining temperature regulation through natural ventilation.

The outward-curved acrylic panels of the greenhouse create an optimal environment for plants by providing consistent sun exposure throughout the day.
