One of the world’s most sought after, championed, highly paid and densely sculptural architects, Renzo Piano, has a wealth of breathtaking building, but one of our favorites here at Basis is the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. Built underground for the most part, featuring and living roof and a”flooded” basement, fully integrated into the ecological world of San Fran, and flatly stunning to look at, it’s a real treat.
