Muttart Conservatory

Location: Edmonton, Alberta
Function: 4 glass pyramids, each housing a different biome.

from their brouchure:

The conservatory was designed in the early 1970's by architect Peter Hemingway. Half of the $2 million construction cost was donated by the Gladys and Merril Muttart Foundation, with the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta providing the balance. The "a;Pyramids" first opened in 1976 and in 1980, a 3,700 square meter greenhouse complex completed the project.
The Muttart Conservatory is more than just a botanic garden. It hosts many of Edmonton's premier floral shows, educational programs for school children, horticultural courses for adults and continues as a very popular site for weddings, banquets and business functions.
