The Congressman Alan Lowenthal Trade and Education Center

The Congressman Alan Lowenthal Trade and Education Center interactive and immersive experience


In strategic partnership with the Port of Long Beach, Studio One Eleven, Lord Cultural Resources, and WSP, Tessellate conceptualized, designed, and executed a state-of-the-art immersive experience for the Congressman Alan Lowenthal Trade and Education Center, located within the Port of Long Beach Headquarters in California.

Engineered around a core philosophy of seamless, intuitive interaction, the installation translates complex narratives of technological innovation and environmental stewardship into dynamic, memorable visitor journeys. Tessellate utilized cutting-edge interactive tools to create a modular series of immersive "vignettes" tailored to both self-guided visitors and facilitated group tours. By structuring content around a flexible narrative framework—effortlessly accommodating audience engagement levels from high-level visual "skimmers" to detailed information "divers"—the resulting exhibit delivers a highly engaging, educational, and inspiring brand experience.
