San Francisco Precedents

The Exploratorium, an interactive science museum in San Francisco, is moving to two piers along the bay.  The redesign is fairly tame, but the museum's exhibits along the waterfront are pretty exciting.

Hyphae Design Laboratory has a really intriguing concept for a redesign of a pier/garage that combines spaces for commercial ships, hot tubs, ecological plantings and sea lions.  Kind of awesome.
