California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco |
|
Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, the new California Academy of Sciences replaces an outmoded, earthquake-damaged complex of buildings with a remarkable new urban facility that promotes the Academy’s goals to 'explore, explain and protect the natural world'. Under the sculptural form of a 2.5-acre living roof, the 400,000 sq ft museum houses the Steinhart Aquarium (the oldest such facility in the U.S.) and Morrison Planetarium as well as 18 million scientific specimens, over 10,000 live animals, space for education and research, and brand new exhibits such as a multi-level, glass-enclosed rainforest dome. |
