| Summary: | "Built in 1960, the Missouri Botanical Garden Climatron conservatory is the world's first geodesic dome greenhouse. The free-standing structure rises seven stories in the center with no interior support, allowing generous light and space for the half-acre of tropical rain forest plants within-- an increasing number of which are endangered in the wild. A monument to the space-age design of the past and the biodiversity of the future, the Climatron continues to inspire imaginations a half-century later"--P. [4] of cover.
