The world's largest single-span glasshouse in Carmarthenshire, UK, designed by Foster + Partners. The design uses many sustainable strategies, such as intelligent computer-controlled heating systems, aluminum glass systems, rainwater collection systems, and biomass boilers.
This glass house sits in the mountains overlooking the Tywi Valley in Carmarthenshire and is part of the Welsh Botanic Gardens in England. Although made of glass, the elliptical building blends well with the surrounding landscape. The aluminum glazed system and the structure supported by tube steel use the least material permeability and the best. The 99m * 55m roof frame is on 24 arch coupons.
