River Legacy Living Science Center
1996, Arlington, Texas

After a national search for an architect, Jones Studio was commissioned to produce a master plan, building program and exhibit design program for a new, 400-acre park and Living Science Center. A children's "fort" discovered deep in the woods inspired this Texas example of sustainable, natural architecture.
