Biosphere 2 was established as a private concern by a Texan billionaire which was intended to pay its own way through the development of patents. It was established sixty miles east of Tucson due to the strong sunlight and clean environment.
From a visual point of view the most interesting aspect is the structure itself with its strong white interconnected lines, pale glass windows against a strong blue Arizonan sky.
The structure itself contains squarish pyramids, mushroom towers, oval greenhouses and the domish lungs. All capture the light strongly and contrast heavily as lined man-made shapes against the rough and rugged south-west landscape.
