    The impending grand opening of the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco has been getting a lot of attention. I pass the construction site every morning as I traverse Golden Gate Park, and though progress seems slow, the copper mesh-encased tower is supposedly going to be ready in just two months. In the same location, though much farther from the public radar, the new California Academy of Sciences building is being planned under the masterful design direction of Renzo Piano.
