Designer Tim Hennes worked with the Steinhart Aquarium's resident exhibit designers to create many of the temporary Academy of Sciences exhibits - condensed in size from 26,000 to 12,000 square feet - which will remain in place until the new Academy structures are complete in 2008. Hennes' exhibit spaces and interior architecture - constructed from plastics, bent-ply, glass, metal and a wide variety of less-identifiable substances - help house the publicly-viewable portion of the over 18 million natural history specimens housed for the next several years at the downtown Temporary Academy.

Got plans this evening? Carl Magnusson, Vice President of Knoll will be speaking on the influence of Florence (Shu) Knoll at Zinc Details in San Francisco at 6 this evening, and a reception will follow. A display of new products in the Knoll Space line will also be available. Be sure to tell Vasilios, Junko and the other wonderful folks at Zinc that you read about the event here on Moco San Francisco!

Knoll, of course, were one of the first corporate champions of interior space planning, and they continue to be one of the finest and longest-practicing designers and manufacturers of office furniture in the world. In addition to their new work, Knoll produces dozens of classic mid-century furniture designs, including work by Bertoia, Saarinen, Platner, Risom, and others.
