Renzo Piano's new building for the California Academy of Arts and Sciences in San Francisco (which we mentioned in Issue 011), opens this Saturday.

This is not a way of avoiding hard truths; he means to shake us out of our indolence."We think it looks like Hobbiton and the Biodome made a baby.Check out the NYT slideshow here.
