The Rise of Modular Construction in Themed Environments
In the evolving world of themed construction, the push for faster builds, higher quality, and more immersive detail has given rise to a new standard: modular construction. This CASTO Corner feature explores how modular strategies — including prefabricated scenic panels, off-site finishing systems, and plug-and-play components — are redefining how themed environments come to life. Drawing from major projects like Universal Studios Beijing and Epic Universe, we break down the full lifecycle of modular builds, from design and manufacturing to transportation, installation, and final finishes. Whether you're a designer, contractor, or creative director, this article reveals how modular thinking enhances constructability and protects creative vision.
Embracing Digital Transformation in Themed Construction
This week on the Casto Corner Blog, we explore how digital tools are reshaping the world of themed construction. In an inspiring conversation with Jesse Hanson—fabrication specialist and digital innovator—we dive into how 3D printing, scanning, and modeling are revolutionizing how immersive environments come to life.
Jesse shares his insights on bridging art and technology, discussing how digital workflows speed up production, enhance precision, and preserve artistic integrity. From theme parks to public art installations, we explore real-world applications and what it means for the next generation of builders and creatives.
Whether you're a tech-savvy designer or a curious traditionalist, this post offers a glimpse into the future of constructability and why embracing digital tools isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
