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.

Our new NASA solar system mission, #Dragonfly, will send a rotocraft-lander to explore Saturn's moon, Titan! Why Titan? This ocean world is unique in the solar system, with organic compounds that could teach us about the origin of life itself.

One of our first outings in Los Angles was to The California Science Center, but more importantly the Samuel Oschin Air and Science Museum to see the space shuttle, Endeavour.
The museum was full of kids on field trips, and Sam was just as excited as they were to see the space shuttle. If not more.
Aperture Science Group photo challenge - something you avoid. And that would be cooking. I do not enjoy trying to put together an elaborate meal in the evening after a long day at work, but eating out every night is expensive and tiresome, not to mention just plain bad for my body. I'm trying to strike a balance between what is easy, tasty, and healthy. Judging by the labels, you'd think I was succeeding. All those brand names are so proud of me.

Like something from a fairy tale, Caisleán Bhiorra (Birr Castle) sits, ivy- and rose-covered, amid the greenery of its expansive gardens. Today, 50 hectares (123.6 acres) of parkland, formal gardens and waterways are administered by the Birr Scientific and Heritage Foundation and are open to the public. In addition to having an interest in botany, the 3rd Earl of Rosse (1800 – 1867) was an astronomer. His wife Mary Rosse, Countess of Rosse, was a pioneering photographer.
