The Science Museum was founded in 1857 as part of the South Kensington Museum, and gained independence in 1909. Today the Museum is world renowned for its historic collections, awe-inspiring galleries and inspirational exhibitions.
Science and Information Conference is a three day research focused conference and was held recently at the Park Inn by Radisson hotel in London on 27, 28 and 29 August 2014. Science and Information Conference 2014 is hosted by The Science and Information Organization, and was organized with support from Microsoft, RK Trans2Cloud, IEEE and Springer.
The Conference was an overwhelming success, attracting delegates, speakers and sponsors from 50 countries and provided great intellectual and social interaction for the participants.

Child of the Sun is the title for a group of buildings designed for the campus of the Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida, USA, by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright from 1941 through 1958. The buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and together form one of the largest collections of buildings by the architect.
Annie Pfeiffer Chapel - first completed Frank Lloyd Wright structure on the campus, dedicated 1941
Seminars (now the Financial Aid and Business Office) - completed 1941
Buckner Building (original Roux Library) - completed 1946
Watson/Fine Building (Administration Building) - completed 1949
Water Dome - partially completed 1949, completed and restored in 2007 to Wright's original plans
Danforth Chapel - completed 1955
Ordway Building (originally called the Industrial Arts Building) - completed 1952
Polk County Science Building (called Polk Science by faculty and students) - completed 1958
The Esplanades - various completion times, currently undergoing restoration around the campus
And so it began, the first contact between Florida Southern College and Frank Lloyd Wright. It was a trip to Europe by then college president Dr. Ludd Spivey and the viewing of a war memorial that inspired the educator to return to the U.S. with the vision of constructing a campus in the orange groves. Even more inspiring to him was the autobiography of Frank Lloyd Wright.
When Dr. Spivey flew to Taliesin at Spring Green, he approached Wright with his dream saying, "I have no money with which to build the modern American campus, but if you’ll design the buildings, I’ll work night and day to raise the means."
Wright was 67 years of age upon his first visit to Lakeland. As he toured the orange grove area he envisioned the buildings rising "out of the ground, into the light and into the sun." His master plan called for 18 buildings using the following basic materials: steel for strength; sand because it was native to Florida; and glass to bring God’s outdoors into man’s indoors.
The first ground breaking ceremony was held may 24, 1938 for the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. Dedication of the building took place March 9, 1941.
Following the completion of the Chapel, the three seminar units were built. As word got out about Wright’s creations, more and more people visited the campus to see his work. In 1942, ground was broken for the circular E.T. Roux Library, but steel and manpower shortages slowed the construction. These first buildings (Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, The Seminar Buildings, and the E.T. Roux Library) were built with student labor. Dr. Spivey arranged with the students that their tuition could be paid with manual assistance in the construction of the buildings. Dedication for the Roux Library was held in 1945.
Next up were the Emile E. Watson- Benjamin Fine Administration Buildings, the first to be built by an outside construction firm, followed by the J. Edgar Wall Waterdome in 1948. The construction of the 1.5 miles of esplanades began at the same time the first phase connecting the library and the administration building. The Ordway Arts Building was next to be constructed and the esplanades were extended from the seminars to the Ordway Building and then back to the chapel, forming the quadrangle.
Danforth Chapel went up in the shadow of Annie Pfeiffer Chapel as the foundations were laid for the Polk County Science Building.
Wright visited the campus often during his twenty years of work at Florida Southern. Lakeland residents would turn out to see him in his preferred attire which often included a flowing cape, beret or pork pie hat, and carrying his walking stick, but few would engage him in conversation.

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.
