The Montreal Biosphere by Mister Buckminster (1895-1983) is an enclosed structure of steel and acrylic built for the 67 Montreal Expo in which a complex system of shades was used to control the internal temperature. The interior of the dome comprises four platforms divided into seven levels and a 37-meter-long escalator, the largest ever built.
Th Montreal Biosphere is one of Fuller's geodesic domes, a particular type of structure shaped like a part of a sphere of a ball, consisting of small triangles.
