The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in Cornwall in the
United Kingdom. Inside the artificial biomes are plants that
are collected from all around the world. The project is
located in a reclaimed Kaolinite pit, located 1.25 mi (2
kilometres) from the town of St Blazey and 5 kilometres (3
mi) from the larger town of St Austell, Cornwall.[1]
The complex is dominated by two huge enclosures
consisting of adjoining domes that house thousands of
plant species,[and each enclosure emulates a natural
biome. The domes consist of hundreds of hexagonal and
pentagonal, inflated, plastic cells supported by steel
frames. The first dome emulates a tropical environment,
and the second a Mediterranean environment.

2- Jean-Marie Tjibaou cultural center
Architect Renzo piano
The Jean-Marie Tjibaou Cultural Centre, on the narrow Tinu
Peninsula, approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast of
the historic centre of Nouméa, the capital of New Caledonia,
celebrates the vernacular Kanak culture, the indigenous
culture of New Caledonia, amidst much political controversy
over the independent status sought by the Kanaks from
French colonial rule. It opened in June 1998 and was
designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano and named after
Jean-Marie Tjibaou, the leader of the independence
movement who was assassinated in 1989 and who had a
vision of establishing a cultural centre which blended the
linguistic and artistic heritage of the Kanak people

The Getty Center, in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California, is a campus for the J. Paul
Getty Trust founded by oilman J. Paul Getty. The $1.3 billion center, which opened on
December 16, 1997,[2] is also well known for its architecture, gardens, and views
overlooking Los Angeles. The center sits atop a hill connected to a visitors' parking
garage at the bottom of the hill by a three-car, cable-pulled tram. The center draws 1.3
million visitors annually.
It is one of two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum. This branch of the museum
specializes in "pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated
manuscripts, sculpture, and decorative arts; and 19th- and 20th-century American and
European photographs".[3] Among the works on display is the painting Irises by Vincent
van Gogh. Besides the museum, the center's buildings house the Getty Research
Institute (GRI), the Getty Conservation Institute, the Getty Foundation, and the
administrative offices of the J. Paul Getty Trust, which owns and operates the center.
The center also has outdoor sculptures displayed on terraces and in gardens. Designed
by architect Richard Meier, the campus includes a central garden designed by artist
Robert Irwin. GRI's separate building contains a research library with over 900,000
volumes and two million photographs of art and architecture. The center's design
included special provisions to address concerns regarding earthquakes and fires.

5- New British library
The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom.[2] The library is a major research library, holding over 150 million items from many
countries, in many languages[3] and in many formats, both print and digital: books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music
recordings, videos, play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings. The Library's collections include around 14 million books,[4]
along with substantial holdings of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 2000 BC. British Library is one of the two largest libraries
in the world, the other being The Library of Congress.
As a legal deposit library, the British Library receives copies of all books produced in the United Kingdom and Ireland, including a significant
proportion of overseas titles distributed in the UK. It also has a programme for content acquisitions. The British Library adds some three million
items every year occupying 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi) of new shelf space.[5]
The library is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. It is located on the north side of Euston
Road in St Pancras, London (between Euston railway station and St Pancras railway station) and has a document storage centre and reading room
at Boston Spa, Wetherby in West Yorkshire.
The library was originally a department of the British Museum and from the mid-19th century occupied the famous circular British Museum Reading
Room. It became legally separate in 1973, and by 1997 had moved into its new purpose-built building at St Pancras, London
