| The
Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park in Mission, Texas is the site of the World Birding Center Headquarters. The honest buildings and viewing structures defer to the flora and fauna of the park. Simple, corrugated steel arches serve as the building structure, roof, and ceiling while also channeling rainwater for sustainable harvesting. |

metal roofs extend to shelter deep outdoor hallways, where rustic benches offer ample opportunities for lingering observations of wildlife activity in the pocket gardens." Karen Hastings, Texas Architect, 5/6 2006 |
