Eden Project, Botanical garden and greenhouse complex in St Blazey, England.

The Eden Project consists of two massive geodesic biomes housing Mediterranean and rainforest environments within a former clay mining pit.

Established in May 2000, this ecological center transformed an industrial clay pit that had been actively mined for more than 160 years.

The Eden Sessions music concerts bring international performers to Cornwall, connecting environmental education with artistic performances throughout summer months.

Visitors can access guided tours of both biomes, explore educational exhibits at The Core, and enjoy meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients.

The Rainforest Biome maintains a tropical environment four stories tall, making it the largest indoor rainforest on Earth.

Circular monuments and buildings: amphitheatres, towers, rotundas

Circular architecture has fascinated builders since ancient times. This collection brings together Roman amphitheatres like the Colosseum, medieval towers such as the Round Tower in Copenhagen, baroque domed structures and modern constructions. The circular form offers practical advantages for acoustic properties, structural stability and optimal space usage. The selected buildings serve various functions: religious temples, fortifications, observatories, museums and event venues. Each example demonstrates how architects have adapted the circular form to local conditions and cultural requirements. From ancient stone structures to contemporary skyscrapers, this selection documents technical evolution across centuries.

Hello 🌿 How are you? I am a Muslim from Egypt. See please🌹 Islam is the religion of all prophets. the word Islam means total submission and obedience to God, a single one God who has no partners nor sons. Islam is based on principles of justice , peace, tolerance, mercy towards all our brothers in humanity. In Islam we have a *direct connection* with our Creator. No mediators in between . There is no intermediary, such as praying to, or through, others, in worshipping God. And this what makes Islam so special and unique. And *true happiness* is only found in *worshipping our Creator* as it is the right of the Creator to be worshipped alone and the right of the human being to have direct connection with His Creator. The last revelation(Qur'an ) from Allah (God) https://quranenc.com/ar/browse/english_saheeh
