Detail 02 [IBiospheres] The Biospheres implemented in the skin of the laboratory and the Trial centre are feed by water hoses and air pumps to enabled the breeding of the new GMO Acai Palm. Two types of biospher allow for the stages of growth. Biosphere one: implements a ETFE tray to place seeds allowing germination of seedling Biopshere two: THydrophomics are used to feed the plant from hoses, the water is feed from the water pockets in the laboratory where rainwater is collected

Water Struts Struts hold up the hose pipes connected from the Trial centre to the laboratory

D01 Detail 02 [Impact Defensive Biospheres] The Acai Berry Laboratory maybe prone to attack by GMO protestors. If the builidng comes under attack the impact sensitive skin will expel the water it stores and replace it with helium. The helium elevates the building away from harm. Helium particles are smaller than air particles, therefore pass slowly through the ETFE ballons. Giving police enough time to clear away the protestors Detail 01 [Watering Pockets] The watering impact sensitive pockets store rain water to feed the plants in the biospheres, hose pipe pumps force water up to the inflated trial centre, and provide additional support

Live Experiment Wall The Public viewing gallery allows the public to view live experiments, watching the Transgenic process step by step, educating the public and reducing the fear of GMOs Laboratory Bench Incorpaartes Areas as follows: 01 Gene Splicing [DNA extraction,Desired DNA trait isolated, nsertion of gene into plasmid, Insertion of plasmid into plant cell, Transformation] 02 Cell & tissue culture 03 Growth and cultivation of cultured cells 04 Regeneration of plant 05 Plant breeding Area

WC & Microbial Reactor The Acai centre operates a Biogenerative Life Closed Ecological System. Plants feed oxygen into the private laboratory and trial centre spaces, and the scientists feeds co2 to the plants. Rainwater and WCs are connected to the mircobial reactor and waste is processed.

Structural Footings Drilled deep in the ground, the support mechanisms for the laboratory pertrude out of the ground to hold up inflatable bubbles. The eleptical top supports curve to the form of the bubbles. When the traveling pavilion moves on the struts are left behind creating a picnic and seating area
