When the California Academy of Sciences opens next fall in Golden Gate Park, it won't just be a stunning architectural addition to San Francisco. The $500 million dollar building designed by the Pritzker Prize winner Renzo Piano, will feature a 2.5-acre living roof covered with native plants and aims to be the greenest museum in the world.
