Windbloom, a permanent public art commission for the City of Houston’s Civic Art Collection officially opens to the public on January 14, 2023. The new Alief Community Center has three permanent public artworks that will be unveiled at the grand opening of the new facility.
Sea Grass is a supersized sculpture cluster of Johnson’s Seagrass, a federally listed threatened marine plant endemic to Miami’s Biscayne Bay. The sculptures are cast into molds using a proprietary mix of colored concrete and recycled glass then polished to a glossy terrazzo finish. Each grass blade is formed as a curvy leaf to create an organic flow of shapes as if being moved by water. Seagrass is nestled within the landscape design plantings at the new park’s swimming facility entry and sited to be visible among the other community buildings and park gathering spaces. Seagrass is a $100,000 budget project and is made possible by the City of Miami’s Art in Public Places’ percent-for-art program. The work is being fabricated in the artist’s Houston studio and will be installed on site in early 2023.
Falon Land Studio is working in partnership with the Kaboom Foundation and community groups in Huntsville, Texas to design seven new green playgrounds. We are delighted to work alongside Kaboom and community stakeholders to design seven new playspaces in the City of Huntsville.

The Prague City Data Congress is a conference focused on data, urban planning, and municipal coordination.
In the 2021 edition, defined by the times of altered balance and changing perceptions, PCDC will focus on accessible design, data visualizations, and data-based storytelling.
Falon Mihalic will speak about Art as a Tool for Data Expression. Using the Bayou Beacon as a case study, this talk explores how to create immersive public art using freely available environmental data. The Bayou Beacon is an immersive light art projection that activates a former industrial space to express historic bayou flood data as a pulsing swarm of water drops. Installed in Houston, Texas, USA, the project activates an underutilized urban space and is funded through a city hotel occupancy and tourism tax.
