Iconic Visitor Center Architecture

National parks, museums, and almost any major tourist attraction will require a visitor center of some sorts, a place where entrants can get information, buy tickets and other products. Not only is it a location for visitors to orient themselves with the facilities, and even buy a cup of coffee, it’s also a chance for architecture to set the tone and make an iconic first impression

Even though Apple Park is the functioning headquarters of Apple Inc, the celebrity status of the brand has made their facilities something of a tourist attraction. It comes as no surprise that a technology brand so widely recognized for impressive design would spare no detail when creating its corporate visitor center.

The Apple Park opened to employees in April 2017, with its circular design and extreme scale earning it the nickname “the spaceship”. Sprawling across 175 acres, the site houses more than 12,000 employees in one central four-storey building. 80% of Apple Park is made up of green space with a center courtyard featuring an artificial pond.

The Apple Park Visitor Center consists of four main areas: a café, an exhibition space which currently showcases a 3D model of the park with augmented reality, an Apple Store featuring exclusive Apple merchandise not sold anywhere else, and a roof terrace overlooking the campus.

The visitor center is located across the road from the campus proper, complete with underground parking, and cost somewhere in the region of $80 million to construct.

Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre

The Cliffs of Moher are located on the southwestern edge of County Clare in Ireland. Running approximately 14 km along the coast and rising to a height of 214 metres (702 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean, they are among the most visited tourist sites in all of Ireland, with roughly 1.5 million visits a year.

The cliffs offer views of the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south. The local authority developed the original visitor centre in the 1990s, creating an opportunity for visitors to experience the cliffs without significant intrusion on the environment.

The centre was built into a hillside approaching the cliffs, and was planned to be environmentally sensitive in its use of renewable energy systems including geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, and grey water recycling.

The new Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre was opened to the public in February 2007, marking the unveiling of a €30 million upgrade on the previous visitor center. The location now features raised viewing platforms along the coastal path to facilitate better viewing, upgrades to walkways and viewing areas, provision of an audio visual theatre, exhibition hall, restaurant, and retails areas. Accessibility was prioritised and wheelchairs are available to borrow to visit the facilities.

Interactive media exhibits cover topics from geology and history, to flora and fauna of the cliffs, with a large multimedia screen displaying a bird’s-eye view from the cliffs and underwater footage from the caves below.

Dewey Short Visitor Center

The Dewey Short Visitor Center is located at the south end of Table Rock Dam and has been called the "crown jewel" of Table Rock Lake near Branson, Missouri.

Developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Dewey Short Visitor Center opened in April 2012, and includes a state-of-the-art interactive map of the Table Rock Lake, as well as an overlook which allows visitors to view Table Rock Lake with their own eyes plus the dam, and Lake Taneycomo. All from one viewing deck.

The center features artistic murals, a replica of an Ozarks bluff (complete with local flora and fauna) and exhibitions of Native American artifacts.

The Dewey Short Visitor Center can be accessed by road as well as by boat, as the center has access to a courtesy dock on the visitor center grounds.

The Great Kemeri Bog Visitor Center competition

Kemeri National Park one of the largest national parks in Latvia, and this Great Kemeri Bog Visitor center competition is calling for submissions for an iconic and functional entranceway visitor centre. The entrance point will need to provide several key facilities - such as an information centre, terrace area, and playground, as well as a car park and ticket booth.

It is a chance for architecture enthusiasts to design something iconic, with the potential to become a noted landmark, all within the stunning natural surroundings of the national park. It is therefore vital that the structure be in keeping with its surroundings, while at the same time standing out.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center

The Visitor Center provides a legible point of arrival and orientation, an interface between garden and city, culture and cultivation.

The Visitor Center for New York City's Brooklyn Botanic Garden is conceived as an inhabitable topography. To provoke curiosity and interest in the garden’s world-class collection, the building provides a legible point of arrival and orientation, an interface between garden and city, culture and cultivation.

The design of the Visitor Center is seen as a seamless extension of the landscape. Nested into an existing berm, the 22,000-square-foot building is experienced as a three-dimensional continuation of the garden path system, never seen in its entirety and framing a series of views into and through the garden.  

Sited at Washington Avenue, the Visitor Center was conceived as a cinematic threshold that unfolds from the city to the garden, through exhibition galleries to an event space that mediates the transition outdoors to a terraced patio, spilling into the garden beyond.

A sustainably rich structure, the LEED Gold-certified Visitor Center redefines the physical and philosophical relationship between visitor and garden, introducing new connections between landscape and structure, exhibition and movement. Like the garden, the Visitor Center evolves over time. The building’s lush, curving green roof adopts four distinct identities, changing with the seasons. With its sustainable features, such as rain gardens, geothermal system, and native plantings, the Visitor Center is a showcase for environmental education.

The building's serpentine form and chameleon-like structure is never seen in its entirety, much like the gardens themselves. 

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden Visitor Center connects a collection of garden types, including a restored forest, a traditional rose garden, a formal cherry esplanade, and a Japanese garden. 

The topography of the site informs the architectural development of the visitor center through a sequence of distinct garden settings. 

The building's leaf-shaped event space connects inside and outside. Its interior wood paneling is milled from ginkgo trees that were harvested from the building site. 

The Visitor Center's educational hallway, shaped by curved glass walls, allow for veiled views of the garden across the length of the site.

A canopy shelters the main entry route to the Visitor Center. This route wanders through the building and connects to an upper-level garden path, allowing views of the garden to become both hidden and revealed.

The Visitor Center's green roof offers stormwater management and rainwater collection, irrigating a series of landscaped terraces and contributing to the general health of the site. The green roof evolves over time, changing through the seasons.

"As vegetation softens the pale concrete walls, and as the meadow on the roof matures, the building will model a relationship that other parts of New York should emulate: a tight new bond between urban landscape and concrete jungle that can make the city a more civilized place.” Justin Davidson, New York Magazine

"The result is not a craven, apologetic attempt to deny that what was once nature is now architecture. It’s a model of one way those two opposed systems can coexist.” Philip Nobel, New York Times

Better Know a Building: Zion National Park Visitor Center

Published by Mary O'Donoghue Mary O'Donoghue get_the_author() -->

The following is the first in a Better Know a Building series, which aims to share information about buildings Cycloners admire for their innovative engineering, architecture, and general design.

A few years ago, my husband and I road tripped through Utah’s national parks, and when we got to Zion, we rolled up just in time to snag one of the last campsites at the South Campground. While I didn’t like how our tent almost blew away every night or how the sun shined directly on my face every morning, I did like how close the site was to the visitor center.

Flash forward  to a few weeks ago. Every Monday, Cyclone’s analysts get together for a Knowledge Forum lunch to talk about project-related questions and observations and to present any other information we think might be interesting for the group. Our company head, Benny, has dubbed this group the Energy Lab, which he describes as “a group of super talented people with creative ideas talking to each other and sharing knowledge.”

If you like reading conference papers, you can find a great one about the entire design process by NREL  here . If you’re more of a CliffsNotes-style conference paper person, read on.

In the late 1990s, the National Park Service and the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) began a collaborative, whole-building design process for the Zion National Park Visitor Center. Architects, engineers, and energy consultants worked together on the building throughout the entire project. Typically, the architecture of a building is submitted first, and then mechanical systems are developed to accommodate the building’s designed form. Designing the architectural and mechanical elements of the building in tandem, however, allowed for more elegant solutions with systems that complement each other and use less energy.

Here are just a few of the Zion Visitor Center’s notable features:

• Clerestories are rows of windows located above eye level, and you’re likely to find them in a lot of buildings that have been designed with sustainability in mind. Their use at the Zion Visitor Center are a big part of why I felt so comfortable inside: they let in lots of soft, ambient, natural light.
• The visitor center’s clerestory windows are operable as well, which allows for improved airflow and circulation and the ability to use natural ventilation as a first step in cooling the building.
• Cooltowers work by circulating water through evaporative pads at the top of a tower. Dry outside air that moves across the pads naturally sinks and cools occupied spaces.
• One of my favorite description from NREL’s conference paper about the building was about how they decided to use cooltowers. “Tall, wet canyon walls and hanging gardens cause a natural cooling effect in the canyon. The cooled air then drops out of the slot canyon into the wider canyon at its base. Architects incorporated similar tall elements in their design to give the building perspective within the canyon environment.”

• The visitor center also uses a clever passive heating strategy with its clerestory windows. The lower solar angle during winter months allows light to enter the occupied space directly, helping to heat it up. An overhang above the clerestory windows keeps direct sun out during summer months when the solar angle is higher.

The visitor center also uses solar voltaic panels to offset its electricity use, daylighting controls, highly insulated walls, and outdoor shade structures, among many other passive, efficient, and environmentally friendly features. It’s definitely worth a visit, and by all means if you find yourself there, consider exploring the majesty of the actual Zion National Park too.

If you’d like to know more about passive design strategies and how they can make your building better, contact us at [email protected].

May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."

Content that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.

So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally.

Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. banners, pop—ups or other distracting noise.

It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web.

20 examples of Sustainable EcoTourism architecture in the world

Hector Ceballos Lascurain, an environmentalist from Mexico was the first to coin the term Ecotourism to describe eco-friendly and responsible travel. Ecotourism has the potential to ensure sustainable use of the country’s resources and generate jobs for the local population. Architecture plays a vital role in ecotourism as it is an expression of natural surroundings through space. Eco lodges and sustainable resorts that are well integrated within the surrounding environment understand the local livelihood, art, and culture.

Here is a list of twenty sustainable ecotourism architecture destinations around the world.

1. Bosco Vertical

Bosco Verticale, Milan, Italy, also known as Vertical Forest wasbuilt by Stefano Boeri Architects. It is one of the most inspirational examples of the revolutionary green buildings movementowing to its seminal incorporation of over two thousand square meters of trees, shrubs, and bushes into forty-four stories across two residential towers.

2. Phipps Centre

Phipps Centre for sustainable landscapes, Pittsburgh is the world’s first building to meet four of the following green building certifications namely,the LEED Platinum, the Living Building Challenge, the Four-Stars Sustainable SITES, and the WELL Building Platinum. At the Phipps Centre, sunlight, soil, and wind are used to light, heat and cool the spaces, purify water for reuse and grow vegetation.

3. The Million Bottle Temple

The Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple or The Million Bottle Temple in Thailand’s Sisaket province is made up of millions of recycled glass bottles. Glass bottles are not only a sustainable alternative in construction, but they also allow the entry of natural light and do not require painting. Moreover, the glassbottle bricks are easy to clean and maintain.

4. The Bird’s Nest

The Beijing Olympic stadium’s roof is an incredible example of sustainability. While conventional roofing systems would have required artificial lighting, air conditioning and ventilation, the open and translucent roof design of The Bird’s Nest stadium significantly cuts the stadium’s energy consumption. The stadium allows the entry of natural air and light and employs geothermal techniques to trap hot and cold air from the stadium’s soil.

5. One Central Park

One Central Park, Sydney is Australia’s greenest urban village and an Ecotourism destination. It houses its on-site tri-generation plant which generates electricity, heat, and cooling using natural gas.

6. Shanghai Natural History Museum

The Shanghai Natural History Museum is a spiral shape shell building representing the plant and animal cells.Through its integration with nature, the building represents the harmony of humans and the ecosystem.

7. The Africa Centre

At the Africa Centre, rainwater is routed into the wetland, the greywater irrigates the vegetation and the blackwater or sewage is treated on site. Locally sourced eucalyptus poles, wood, and glass have been utilized for construction.

8. Makoko Floating School

Floating School, Makoko, Lagos, Nigeria uses over two hundred plastic drums to keep the structure floating in the water. The structure was constructed by the Makoka inhabitants using locally available timber. The school building is solar powered and has an in house rainwater harvesting system.

9. Eastgate Centre

Designed by architect Mick Pearce, the Eastgate Centre, Zimbabwe does not depend on any conventional ventilation systems for its temperature regulation, yet maintains air conditioning with dramatically large energy efficiencyrates. The building was designed using construction techniques derived from Zimbabwean masonry and the self-cooling African termites.

10. ElewanaTarangire Treetops

ElewanaTarangire Treetops, Tanzania is located in Randilen Wildlife Management Area with rich wildlife and stunning landscape. By staying at ElewanaTarangire Treetops, tourists contribute to the preservation of natural areas and promote the benefits of responsible tourism.

12. Australian Islamic Centre

This Melbourne mosque features ninety-six golden lanterns facing all four directions. The north lanterns are green representing nature. The east lanterns are yellow for paradise. The west lanterns are red symbolizing blood, which gives strength. Blue represents the sky and this is to the south. During the day, sunlight channels through the coloured glass into the building.

13. Oregon Zoo Education Centre

Visitor center architecture and historical pastiche, a new kind of visitor center.

Rather than restore and reconstruct the mission complex on conjectural information, as had done at Mission San Jose in San Antonio and other locations, the National Park Service historians, archeologists, and architects decided to preserve what remained of the adobe mission structures and instead put considerable effort into interpretation. This effort included the development of museum exhibits, but more importantly the construction of a museum that was an exhibit in itself.

Frank "Boss" Pinkley , the National Park Service head of the Southwestern Monuments, had definite ideas for the museum. He wanted a low building that would not interfere with the historic mission complex and that was close to the parking lot so that visitors entered immediately. He wanted a pleasing facade, but nothing too ornate. He felt the building should be large enough for future expansion if required, but of a design that complemented the mission's architecture. He wanted reproductions of doors, windows, and floor and ceiling structure that were found in other Sonoran missions of the Kino chain. He also wanted a "view room" where visitors could look out at the mission complex, and he even set the axis of the museum building at a particular angle so that visitors could see that "knock-out" view he chose.

The 1935 Expedition

The design for Tumacácori’s visitor center evolved from a 1935 expedition to thirteen Spanish colonial mission sites in Sonora and two in Arizona, at a time of political and social unrest in Mexico. During this period of anticlerical activity all the churches had been closed and their furnishings removed, hidden by local parishioners or destroyed. The trip was funded and authorized by the National Emergency Council, a branch of the PWA which coordinated work among federal agencies.

George A. Grant, 1935

Six intrepid NPS professionals made the trip: Arthur Woodward, archaeologist and journalist; Scofield DeLong and Leffler B. Miller, architects; George A. Grant , photographer; Robert H. Rose, naturalist; and J.H. Tovrea, engineer. The report was republished by Buford Pickens in 1993 as The Missions of Northern Sonora, a 1935 Field Documentation (University of Arizona Press). Various architectural features of the churches are visible in the construction of the visitor center building.

The shell motif is found in all Franciscan colonial churches for it symbolizes the patron saint of Spain, Santiago de Compostela. One can find excellent examples in the niches of the Tumacácori's bell tower and the front doors of Cocóspera and Tubutama.

No one knows the exact design of Tumacácori's choir loft railing. It collapsed in the late 1800s. However these replica spindles form the window grille of the Visitor Center.

The beams crossing the ceiling are known as vigas and were usually made from ponderosa pine or other large timbers. Laid on top and perpendicular were smaller planks or branches known as latillas. The decorative end caps seen at Oquitoa and the Tumacácori visitor center are called corbels.

Panelled Doors

Raised panels on one side, recessed on the other, the interior doors of the Tumacácori visitor center resemble those at San Ignacio and other missions.

Like many Spanish architectural traditions, the covered walkway lined with arches has its roots in Arabic and Middle Eastern architecture. The dark red painted canales provide drainage from the roofline.

In churches, niches are reserved to display statues of saints. At Tumacácori's visitor center, this niche was built to hold a drinking fountain. Around the corner, another niche pedestal hold an original bronze statue of Father Eusebio Kino. Kino is named specifically in Tumacácori's enabling legislation and the bronze was sculpted by Eugene Morahan in 1936, specifically for this location.

Groined Vault

Excellent examples of groined vaults (also known as double or cross vaults) can be found at San Ignacio and Tubutama.

Left image Pitiquito, corbel Credit: (photo by George Grant, 1935)

Right image Tumacácori model room corbel

Usually a corbel is structural -- jutting from the wall to carry a load. However, in missions they are often also used as decorative features to draw attention to something like a statue, a font, or architectural detail.

Although their design was not taken directly from another mission, finials (decorative posts that stand at prominent roof corners) were included at the Tumacácori museum to represent a common architectural element found in missions.

National Center for Preservation Technology and Training

Watch " History By Design: The Tumacácori Visitor Center as Historical Pastiche "

Louis Caywood states in his June 1937 year-end report: “The Secretary of the Interior approved an allotment of Public Works funds for the new Tumacácori museum in August, 1936; the contract for construction was let to the M. M. Sundt Construction Company (of Tucson) in June. It is expected that the building will be finished early in 1938. Western Museum Laboratories of the National Park Service in Berkeley, California, had prepared 60 percent of museum exhibits at the end of the fiscal year. Plans had been drawn up by the Museum Division with some help by the Southwestern Monuments office. Exhibits will be ready for installation when the building is finished, it is hoped.” Construction by the M. M. Sundt Company began in August, 1937 despite a heavy rainstorm that ruined the first batch of adobe bricks. At the same time a contract was let with Citizens Utility Company of Nogales and electricity finally reached the park. Work on the visitor center building was completed in December, 1937 at a total cost of $28,992.91. While construction of the visitor center and museum was going on, the exhibits for the museum were being designed and built in Berkeley, California at the Western Museum Laboratories by artists, craftsmen and designers employed under many New Deal programs. Lorenzo Moffett and Paul Rockwood, PWA exhibit builders from the Berkeley labs, spent four days at the monument in February 1937 making paintings, drawings, photographs, and color notes for details in the dioramas being prepared in California. Exhibit installation followed in 1938. With all installation complete, the museum was dedicated in April 1939.

National Historic Landmark

The unique assembly of features and their significance for the Tumacácori story led to the building's designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1987. It joined the Guevavi and Calabazas missions on this exclusive list, shared by less than 50 locations in Arizona.
