If you’ve ever traveled the world, what architectural masterpieces would you remember?? ? Iconic structures like the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Statue of Liberty in New York create unique identities that foster pride and creativity within their communities.? Public art gives a project a distinct signature that sets it apart from other more mundane works while offering architects a chance to infuse creativity into their designs – the same is true for any construction project.? ? So, what exactly is public art?? ? Public art takes many forms across the country, from sculptures and water features to landscape design and play equipment. It can be crafted in various media, including mosaics, carvings, stonework, and earthworks. Some pieces invite interaction, while others are meant to be appreciated from a distance.?? ? The OTL team has a rich history of creating iconic pieces worldwide, from the western United States to Johannesburg, South Africa. Many of OTL’s completed projects were funded by public art programs or serve as inspiration for future public art initiatives.?? ?

Artificial Intelligence (#AI) can help property professionals work smarter and make better decisions – but it’s not the silver bullet. ? ? In BUILDINGS Magazine’s latest article, OTL’s CEO Wickham Zimmerman dives into the growing role of AI in facility management. He shares his insights on its potential to optimize building operations and maintenance but also emphasizes the importance of getting the right data and training to make AI truly effective. ?? ? Today’s AI models are great at handling tasks like reviewing and analyzing large data sets, but there’s more to it than that. Take OTL’s recently designed interactive water feature at EpicCentral in #GrandPrarie, Texas, which uses AI to respond to visitors’ movements with water jets and changing light colors.?? ? “With the use of cameras, it can identify and locate objects and movement and then translate that data into output signals that control any equipment running DMX, which nothing else at this point can do effectively,” says Wick. ? ? How is OTL making AI more effective in their space? Check out the full article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gmAa5TqT? ?

Why is the water feature at The Towers at Williams Square in #Irving, TX the favorite of our Vice President of Business Development, Barry Caylor? If you know Barry, his selection comes as no surprise. Barry’s focus has always been on building strong relationships with our clients, and The Towers at Williams Square fountain holds a deep history of meaningful connections. Featuring nine bronze mustangs and surrounded by office buildings, this fountain’s story is as impressive as its design.
