PROJECT OVERVIEW: The Green Square Complex in downtown Raleigh unites the NC Dept. of Environment & Natural Resources with the Museum of Natural Sciences, promoting sustainability and education. Its standout feature, the four-story Daily Planet dome, functions as both a projection space and architectural icon.
