Here is another photo of a part of Biosphere 2 that I found quite interesting.The angles and white metal with the sunlight streaming makes the top triangular white bars look like a neon light. It is not a light though, this effect is all natural.
Biosphere 2 is made of steel tubing and high performance glass and steel frames.
The structure helped deal with atmospheric expansion. During the day, the heat from the sun caused the air inside to expand and during the night it cooled and contracted.
The structure had large diaphragms kept in domes called lungs.

Lines and angles....love it.
Your last several posts have images that look so modern and contemporary with form and angles that are fascinating. There's an exhibit in one of the museums here that concentrates on architecture of new and remodelled museums in many parts of the world. Truly amazing architecture like your photos.
This is a really cool view. I like all the triangles.
Wow! How many triangles can you count?
Interesting composition today... where does it all end?!.
What an amazing place.
