Look At Industrial Reuse At City Museum

City Museum occupies an old shoe factory in downtown St. Louis. Sculptors Bob and Gail Cassilly and their team of artisans developed it using objects and materials that cities leave behind. The resulting artist-built environment turns reuse itself into a subject for the visit.

Choose it for an interest in how sculpture, salvaged material and a former industrial building can be brought together. The appeal lies in looking at familiar urban objects given another purpose. If physical exploration is part of your plan, establish the actual visit arrangements for your party rather than assuming the same activity suits everyone.

Consider The Climatron's Greenhouse Design

The Climatron at Missouri Botanical Garden dates to 1960. Its geodesic greenhouse design created a wide-open floor plan without internal supports. That structure gives architecture enthusiasts a specific subject: how the enclosure makes room for horticultural display.

The original project was also intended to support botanical research through controlled climate zones. That history makes the building a useful choice for an interest in the meeting of plant study and structural design. Consider the original design aims as part of understanding the place, without treating them as a promise about present environmental controls or a particular plant display.
