RENZO PIANO'S CAL ACADEMY In San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the California Academy of Sciences recently reopened in a striking new building designed by Renzo Piano. Covered in a sinuous green roof, the museum does more than reflect the landscape or provide a daylit container for natural history exhibits; it also treads lightly on the planet. Next week writer Rachel Grossman will explore this structure and the sustainable features that have earned it a LEED Platinum rating. (Photo: © Nic Lehoux)
