Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, Texas

Legorreta + Legorreta Architects designed the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, completed in 2007. It joins a neighborhood of classic American buildings by Louis Kahn, Tadao Ando, and Philip Johnson.

Green elements include solar panels, rainwater storage, and daylighting designs. Brick cladding dominates the facades, with stone and stucco included. The shapes are very simple and large. A signature “Urban Lantern” dominates the center.
