Not my favorite type book---but it works for my scavenger hunt of an oxymoron. Tonight I'm reading The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey. written in 1948. Fun read so far. Got any other ideas for me?

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

Images from a recent laser scan of the existing power station, part of the Powerhouse Science Center.
One of the primary purposes of laser scanning is to verify existing conditions on a job site. We have placed the point cloud files that were generated from the laser scan into the design model. The main focus; verify the dimension and placement of any existing conditions to remain are accurate.
With the click of a button we can compare the existing point cloud scan against the new design, and not just for the architectural design. The teal information in some of these images is the proposed mechanical design. In some locations the clearance to get this proposed ductwork in-between the existing beams and columns is less than a half inch.
Special thanks to Jordan Banning at California Surveying and Drafting Supply for donating his time and equipment for the laser scan.
