Safdie Rabines Scripps InstituteThe <a href="http://www.sio.ucsd.edu">Robert Paine Scripps Forum for Science, Society, and the Environment</a> is a breathtaking oceanfront conference center that was meant to inspire, playing hosts to scientists from all around the world. Located on top of an ocean bluff, designers <a href="http://www.safdierabines.com/institutional/robert-paine-scripps-forum/">Safdie Rabines Architects</a> had to take into consideration the strong winds, western sun, the existing grove of palms, and an ever-changing ocean providing the natural backdrop to the center settings. They felt it was important to create a building that played homage to its natural site and the research of the scientist who come to visit.1
