A new art installation somewhere in darkest Bradford? No. This is the 2.5 acre roof of the new award-winning California Academy of Sciences, designed by Renzo Piano, in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. It is the first museum to win LEED™ Platinum certification. Its design for sustainability won the EPA's regional Environmental Award in 2006.

Look at the graphic above. The process has already begun.
