Did you know that strawberries grow on the roof of the Academy of Science in San Francisco? There are an astonishing 1.7 million plants on the academy's living roof, which not only helps to insulate the building, but also provides for the cafe and restaurant. Architect Renzo Piano turned the museum into one of the largest public buildings that received the LEED certifications.
