Abstract

Recently I visited a museum located in a formally abandoned, and now repurposed, power plant station (pictured lower left). Instead of demolishing the building, it was renewed and reused as a structure to house and share knowledge with the public. In the space surrounding this museum (which was formally a gas station) there is a vertical garden with over 15,000 plants, a full replica of a fossilized dinosaur skeleton, and many unique, architectural sculptures. I took this photo as a representation and exploration of the concept of sustainability - in both the natural environment and the world in which we live, and also metaphorically, in academic publishing and the pathways in which knowledge is generated, translated, mobilized, and commodified.
