What If? Portland, Oregon OMSI
For reference, this link takes you to the official Portland, Oregon OMSI development page: https://omsi.edu/future-omsi-district/
The information below is based on a concept. All elements used in any illustration are not the final design intent or suggestion, but are design "placeholders". It is a "concept" and is meant to spark positive conversation. Some images are rough versions to just help visualize what might be in this very early stage. More like 3D real-time napkin sketches.

What better way to showcase the latest in new technology than to house it in a living iconic venue? Using state-of-the-art LED solutions and flexible space tensile structures that reach out to the community in positive interactive ways. Below is a quick study of what a 250,000 sq. ft. tensile structure might look like when outfitted in the latest exterior LED solution. Scene from up close or from across the river, this iconic building would be a unique community platform for all kinds of outdoor community events. This shape just happens to mimic the tall volcanoes of the coast range in the distance.
THE NEW TECHNOLOGY HEALTH & SCIENCE PAVILION
Phase 1 :
This concept explores the idea of creating a Mixed Use 250,0000 Square Foot Pavilion for the Portland, OMSI complex that brings together Nike & Intel (and others) to collaborate in the creation and development of " The New Technology Health & Science Pavilion",
(NTHS), dedicated to exploring and presenting exhibits, attractions, shows, and special events for the MIND, BODY & SPIRIT.
FUN EXPLORATION TOPICS:
How is the new technology created?
How is it used in new ways in sports, entertainment, and other industries?
What makes robots work?
The future of AI and robotics.
The NEW TECHNOLOGY HEALTH & SCIENCE PAVILION:
OMSI has a 75-year track record of creating and building exhibits for museums worldwide using traditional design and production practices. Now, with the "NTHS" Pavilion OMSI could add to their exhibit offerings and include exhibits that are created and designed on-site, in this new facility that utilizes this new tech approach.

The above 20-page, "CONCEPT OUTLINE" was put together to explore all the elements that might go into the creation and development of a project of this scope and scale. It is a work in progress and is designed to help promote group discussion and collaboration on all items. From soup to nuts!
Happy to share ALL our concept thoughts to date and other details, including finance opportunities with the right partner(s).
