Peter Hellman pens Culture takes the LEED for Metropolitan Home

SNIP: Unlike others competing to design the new California Academy of Sciences museum in San Francisco, the great Italian architect Renzo Piano arrived without a prepared submission. All he had was his sketchpad. He asked if he could go up to the roof of the old museum building. After an hour, he descended with a simple line drawing. It showed the outline of a museum whose undulating roofline followed the folds and rolls of the Golden Gate Park site and the hills beyond, and it proved to be the winning design./SNIP

• About us

  We're a crew of trend-spotting, post-punk, smarty-pants' who do our research, brainstorm like crazy, and build solid programs and plans that make business happen. Launched in 2003 as the go-to team to push ideas into action, we've launched tons of cool companies/projects/plans, aren't afraid of getting dirty, and while knee-deep in the excitement of the new school, we keep a hand firmly planted on the sacred rock of the old-school.
