This original building of enclosed steel and and acrylic cells is an incredible 76 meters in diameter and 62 meters in height and classified as a class 1 dome. Complex system of shades were in place to control the internal temperature relating with the angles of the sunlight passing through. There are four themed platforms that visitors are welcome to visit and and was divided into seven levels even including an escalator. Montreal Biosphere has taken scenic part in a number of movies and stands as a part of the Biosphere Environment Museum.

This building is more aesthetically pleasing than anything for me. The use of different shapes and designs to build an ultimate design is very pleasing to my eyes. Obviously I am not the only one who thinks this considering this building has made multiple experiences in movies.
