As mentioned previously, Eden is an organic space that will continually evolve and change. On top of that there are plans for more buildings to expand Eden’s horizons for uses of the space as well as a third biome to house a dessert climate to add to the existing Tropic and Mediterranean climates. The most notable of the new builds is ‘The Edge’. This building will house the desert biome, a courtyard garden (designed to celebrate the preciousness of water) and a ‘Trading post’ (a place where people can meet and share ideas, culture and stories). The most interesting part of this space is the underground elements. “Underneath…a series of interlocking underground chambers will provide spaces for some of the great voices of the age – artists, writers, scientists and musicians - to work with communities and families and share the best ideas they have for improving their lives and environments, now and in the future.” (theedge.org)
