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.

Here it is, the big daddy. Currently holding the record for the longest SHIP at 12 feet 6 inches, or 487 studs, the Tribunal was a substantial investment in time and labor for me. I decided that, for it I would upload an entire set of the beautiful pictures taken by Geoff Gray, in glorious high resolution. There are descriptions of what all the rooms and areas are on the web site, although the pictures are pretty substantial too.
This set is enormous, so enjoy the browsing!
The celebration of Amherst's new Science Center on Saturday, Oct. 20 included a discussion by five distinguished panelists, student-led tours of the building, and laboratory demonstrations by faculty in each department. Photos by Jiayi Liu.
As part of a collaboration between the Bethany Biology Department and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, students went out on May 1, 2012, to find and document species of plants and animals in the Cobb River and Perch lake Waterfowl Production Areas. Learn more www.blc.edu/field-biology

Light Science Magic.
There are a total of 5 shots in the set showing the slight variations of Black-on-black. The first 3 were shot on a black cloth(not velvet). The last 2 were on semi-glossy matboard.
Gave some definition to surface by slowing shutter by 1 stop. 1/1000 to 1/750. Gave enough light to see subject and surface.
As the book said, it started to become a preference thing between #2 and #3.

LOS ALAMOS RESEARCHER WITH THE SINGLE-TURN ELECTROMAGNET
The white tube passing through the magnet's single copper loop contains the sample and the measurement probes. A 3-million-ampere current pulse creates a 240-tesla magnetic field at the loop's center, generating so much heat and magnetic force that the loop explodes. The tube and its contents survive intact.
