Visitor Facilities: The History, Design and Development of Nature and Visitor Centers
Visitor centers serve as portals to a “spirit of place.” Nature centers are sanctuaries that guide people to a “sense of place.” This book explores the history, design and development of these site-based facilities. Michael Gross and Ron Zimmerman have studied interpretive facilities for more than 25 years. This is the first comprehensive sourcebook that offers insights into the evolution of today’s interpretive centers, defines functions of nature and visitor centers, and presents a model for holistic design.
