Cheers to another great @ICSC in the books! See you next year! 👋🏽 #RECon16

Getting after it on Day 2 of @icsc #RECon16

Meet Paloma Rodriguez, a designer who’s been with us for a little over a year. We're certain, if you get to know each of our people, you'll get to know OMNIPLAN. So, we asked Paloma afew questions: What’s your hometown? Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua (Mexico) What project are you currently working on? CoolSprings Galleria Mall and La Plaza Mall Expansion What's something not many people know about you? I lived in Germany for a year as an exchange student, so I like to think I am somewhat decent at speaking German. What's your Alma Mater? University of Texas at Arlington Who's your favorite architect? Zaha Hadid If you weren't doing architecture what would you do? I don’t think I see myself doing anything else, but if I had to choose, I’d be a travel critic writer. I really enjoy experiencing different cultures around the world and of course its architecture. So the idea of getting paid for traveling sounds amazing! Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it? Soccer, every Tuesday at Grand Samuel Park What's your favorite Dallas restaurant? Dive Coastal Cuisine What's your favorite thing about Dallas? There is always something to do or visit: museums, concerts, festivals, shopping, sporting events, and much more. Most of these events and locations also happen to be free of charge ;p Where is your dream vacation? Chile; hiking and camping my way through the scenic routes from Punta Arenas to San Pedro de Atacama. Who is your alter-ego? (Pop-culture figure, TV personality, super hero, etc…) James Bond What do you listen to on the way to work? I usually walk to work, so I love listening to the busy streets of Downtown Dallas. Past or present, who would you like to have dinner with and why? My grandmother. She was a brilliant and insightful woman who would always have a book in her hands. She never really travelled much, but I do remember her always saying, “These books take me to wonderful places” she always knew a little bit about everything. What's your favorite OMNIPLAN memory or tradition? I’m always looking forward for the OMNIlunches! >>Each week, we profile true archetypes of ‪#‎OurOMNIPLAN‬ culture.

Huge thanks to @henryjerome of @deigratiaco for coming by the office yesterday (and again today) to freshen up our staff! #OMNIPLAN

Meet Omar Ali, a designer who’s been with us for just a few months! We're certain, if you get to know each of our people, you'll get to know OMNIPLAN. So, we asked Omar a few questions: What’s your hometown? Dallas, TX What project are you currently working on? I’m currently working on the Energy Square redevelopment and the Provo Towne Centre revitalization. I typically seem to move around a lot though. What's your Alma Mater? I received my graduate degree from the University of Michigan (@taubmancollege) and undergraduate at UT-Arlington. Who's your favorite architect? I don’t have an all-time favorite architect, but currently really into the work of Francisco and Manuel Aires Mateus based out of Portugal. If you weren't doing architecture what would you do? I would probably pursue computer science or something else related to programming. Do you have a hobby? If so, what is it? I’m a collector of hobbies… I enjoy riding and working on my bicycle, playing music, drawing, and making things. What's your favorite Dallas restaurant? I have many… but my favorite upscale restaurant would be CBD Provisions. *Bonus: best place for Indian/Pakistani cuisine- Al-Markaz in Carrollton. What's your favorite thing about Dallas? I enjoy being close to my (huge) family and friends after spending a few years away. Where is your dream vacation? I would probably visit Croatia to tour all the Game of Thrones shooting locations, or New Zealand to see the Lord of the Rings scenery. Who is your alter-ego? (Pop-culture figure, TV personality, super hero, etc…) Ettore Sottsass. What do you listen to on the way to work? NPR or KXT. Past or present, who would you like to have dinner with and why? A double date with Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock; my date would be my girlfriend, Nimet. What's your favorite OMNIPLAN memory or tradition? So far, I really like Omnilunch (especially when we go to KWP), but I’ve heard that Halloween is really great here as well! I’m very much looking forward to experiencing more OMNIPLAN events and traditions. #OurOMNIPLAN
