The best kind of selfie is an #architectselfie.
On a visit to Vegas, a few of our great Mixed Use Studio team members visited a potential new mixed-use project site, located just across the street from the new Raiders Stadium! In the top left photo, from left to right, are Project Director Bryan Tessner, Principal Bruce Greenfield, Partner Rob Budetti, and Senior Designer Lalaine Tanaka. Now that’s a great #architectselfie. Way to go, team!
2018 CANStruction OC I Millennium Fal-CAN I Hunger Can’t Be Solved Solo
Hunger Can’t Be Solved Solo… The AO troop mobilized for the premier voyage of the Millennium Fal-CAN as we summoned The Force to keep our cans hurdling through outer space, doing our part to send hunger into another galaxy far, far away. For the third time, AO participated in the Orange County Design-Build Competition, organized to “combine the fun of a design-build competition with an ingenious way to help feed hungry people”. The well-received, iconic sculpture was an engineering challenge for the team determined to showcase the piece in all its craft glory by designing a cantilevered, angled, presentation set for flight, complete with galaxy stars. The design went through months of 3D modeling, structural engineering, food product label design and profile research, pre-builds, revisions and testing to achieve the final sculpture, which took 7 hours to install after hours on August 31, for the Labor Day weekend premiere.
