- Howdy...
- 'We' are in the midst of a major Masterplan undertaking to redo our
- Musuem (c. 54,000 sq. ' now on 60 acres) and Wildlife Center (zoo).
- I will be working with architects/exhibit consultants on the design/
- model which will be the Center's future.
-
- Our natural history collections, technology, interactive exhibits are to
- be integrated with the wildlife... Sort of bioregion pods 'growing off"
- the main building.
-
- Point: I'd love to tellthe architects that the pods must be designed
- as geodesic domes... functional, aesthetic, and a palpable signature
- of our mission of environmental education (global change research).
-
- I have a rather conservative Boardof Trustees...but if I am adequately
- prepared on cost-effectiveness --as well as vision and ethics--I know
- I can sell this.
-
- Any references or contacts you can supply would be GREATLY appreciated!
