Crystal Palace Hanging Gardens of Babylon Biodome

"the Crystal Palace, an impressive dome-topped glass structure that took up nearly an entire square block. At the time, it was the largest building in the western hemisphere. Deemed “The Finest Building in America,”"

"The Crystal Palace was designed by architects Georg J. B. Carstensen and Charles Gildermeister. It was built to house the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations, a global exhibition that is largely considered America’s first World’s Fair. The design was inspired by the Crytal Palace built in Hyde Park, London, for the Great Exhibition of 1851. Carstensen and Gildermeister’s Palace took the shape of a Greek cross that stretched from the Croton Reservoir Distributing Center that once stood where the New York Public Library is now to Sixth Avenue. One of the best views of the Crystal Palace itself was seen from the top of the reservoir walls. The Palace’s frame was made of steel and cast iron, and it was topped off with a large glass dome at the center."

"The massive scale, expansive walls of glass, and beautifully ornate wrought iron details of the building made it an impressive sight to behold."

"Hanging Gardens of Babylon, ancient gardens considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World and thought to have been located near the royal palace in Babylon. By the beginning of the 21st century, the site of the Hanging Gardens had not yet been conclusively established. Nevertheless, many theories persisted regarding the structure and location of the gardens."

"The Biodôme is not really a zoo, but it’s not a botanical garden, either. The Biodôme — whose name means “house of life”— is home to 2,500 animals from some 200 different species and more than 800 plant species.

Among its most popular animals are the penguins and the golden lion tamarin monkeys, and new residents include a flock of parrots, a school of false piranhas and a pair of broad-snouted caimans. Animal welfare remains top priority at the Biodôme, from habitat size to stimulating activities that prompt animals to express their natural behaviours."
