are working on "turning a Lancashire rubbish dump into a tropical rainforest which would heat itself with decomposing garden and kitchen waste." The project would be 25% bigger than Eden. "Grimshaw, working with waste engineers, is developing the idea of the Georgian pineapple growing sheds at the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall. These are heated by bark and horse manure and grow up to 300 exotic vegetables and fruit." The architects would build "50 metre high walls out of rubble, which would contain "bio-digester" composting tubes," estimated to produce about £12m profit a year on energy by generating heat and electricity on site" taken from the green waste. - Guardian
