My wonder was created by one of my favourite architects, Renzo Piano, and is the California Academy of Sciences. I feel that all too often great claims are made about a building's sustainability credentials during pre-construction, before anybody really knows how it will perform when it's completed. More often than not.the impressive statistics, heralded from the earliest days of the project's inception, don't come to fruition. This building, however, really does live up to the highest of expectations. Not only incredibly energy efficient but also beautifully designed, no compromises were made on its looks in order to maximise its sustainability. It integrates elegance and efficiency perfectly.
