The architect, Renzo Piano applied sustainable design strategies throughout the whole building. 

Natural ventilation replacing air-conditioning, efficient building materials, water reuse, green roof, natural lighting are some of the sustainable features in the building. ( refer to arch daily for detail explanation ) 

The project conserves two limestone walls from the previous building (1934), and houses a planetarium, a rain forest habitat and an aquarium, and several exhibition spaces to house the several Academy collections.
