Bios­phere 2 was a ill-conceived effort to recre­ate the earth’s ecosys­tem within an vast geo­desic dome, a kind of Earth-pod on the sur­face of Earth.

Bldg­Blog is fea­tur­ing the pho­tos of Noah Shel­don, who recently vis­ited the defunct struc­ture and recorded nature’s steady creep. A dead build­ing, Bldg­Blog pro­claims. A dead build­ing is one that gives its life over to nature and aban­dons its human intent.

A evoca­tive series of pho­tos that is some­how more poignant than typ­i­cal shots of ruins, per­haps because of the awe­some human arro­gance that went into the cre­ation of the structure.
