Informations supplémentaires

Richard Buckminster Fuller designed the Biosphere based on his tetrahedral and geodesic structural theories - a futuristic concept at the time. The structure was built to house the American pavilion at Montreal's Expo 67. Originally the structure's tubular steel framework was clad in acrylic panels creating a huge bubble. The acrylic "skin' was burnt off in a fire in 1976. The site remained unused until 1990 when it was taken over by Environment Canada who turned the Biosphere into a museum whose focus is the water ecosystems of the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence River regions.
