1/3 We’re excited to introduce OCVIBE, a project five years in the making! The Masterplan is now 100% approved by the City of Anaheim.
This transformative mixed-use entertainment campus reimagines suburban parking lots into a vibrant “modern Mesopotamia.” By revitalizing 100 acres between a freeway and a channelized river, we’re creating a lush landscape that prioritizes people over cars. With visionary ownership and an incredible team, we’re setting a new standard for sustainable urban development.

SolidNature Innovative Craftsmanship

This is the first time SolidNature has embarked on a project focusing on producing smaller-scale art objects. By collaborating with partners like Secrets of the Universe, renowned for their experimental architecture, objects, and installations, the natural stone brand aims to bring beauty and brilliance to light.

As an innovation partner, SolidNature works with the best creative minds in the world, including the nine designers and artists featured in 'Souvenirs of a Forgotten Past! This project underlines the brand's interest in expanding innovative craftsmanship and engaging with creatives to share important messages while showcasing a wide range of manufacturing skills.

Smith-Clementi (Frank Clementi and Julie Smith-Clementi) explore the composite nature of American identity through a reflective, dual-themed piece inspired by Venice, named "E la Nave Va".

E la Nave Va

Nave means boat in Italian. Our setting is the city, the boat and the water. These multiple parts speak to our American condition of composite people. We are made of where we came from, we complete where we end up and are informed by the journey. More specifically we are composite individuals. The concept came from a sketch that Frank made in Venice. Where the nature of the reflection of the city creates an imperfect duality in its lagoon. The sign in the sketch says the same thing above and below, but where is below? It inverted and distorted. What other alternative natures exist in the below? This is the behavior in the upside down looking glass we pretend to live in. One that we are creatively miming as immigrants.

3/3 Working with the team remotely and completely digitally was the challenge. The final design is rendered in enscape. The result is incredibly accurate as seen in the overlay of the point cloud, the sketchup model and the photo we took on site.

1/3 Winter in Türkiye - A visit to the site of The Great Library in Ephesus with the Trimble team. Having only seen the library virtually, through the point cloud, we could not have picked a better day to see it in person.

Dance Dance Revolution
An EDM club within a historic venue tracing the path from Fritz Lang’s machinist expressionism to Giorgio Moroder’s invention of electronic dance music. The machine splices recordings of past performances into each other providing revelers a presence in the glitched history of the venue’s past.

The Yellow Submarine

A communications sub. A hub of data machines in a candy wrapper. Two floors of communications equipment float above a safety operations habitat. Secure but not unfriendly.
