Week 11 @ CARBO

 Hi, Happy (early) St. Patrick's Day :)

The last two/three weeks feel like they're just dragging... Anywayss, I helped make a base for two projects that are getting started. Putting together one of these base maps entailed calling the company that made the survey for their CAD files which felt really professional, and I enjoyed the added trust/responsibility for a second.

I made another precedent imagery board for waterfront spaces/streetscape on the bayou in Houma which I believe got presented today. I also got asked to quickly make a graphic for this presentation just by pulling some pieces that a coworker had already created. This was a new type of task for me as I really haven't made any graphics yet this internship, but hopefully Ill be able to do more of that soon.

We have still been pushing the pocket park in Lafayette. I started putting together a 3D model of the concept they chose, and running into some issues with the concept, created another variation of it which we presented to the client over zoom but she preferred the original idea so we were sent back to the drawing board a bit. I'm excited to put it into Lumion :)

Oh also, I was brought onto a project on LSU where they're replacing all of the light poles from the Law Building to past the bookstore. For this I pretty much will just take meeting notes on site every Monday; its cool to be included and on campus again. 

-- Does anyone else put in work for a project and then get disappointed when you aren't asked to go to the presentation/meeting? Idk I guess its a learning curve, it just kind of feels weird.

Hey  y'all !      I hope this finds you well and I' m  looking forward to more posts and updates from you guys. As some of you know, I started working at Hoerr Schaudt on their Continuing Landscape Management (CLM) team! I've been here for about a month and I've already seen and learned so much.      The CLM team is something a little different – not a lot of firms have a whole team dedicated to continuing management and maintenance. Between seasonal rotations for containers and plant beds, design and planting enhancement plans, tree care and maintenance, and just general upkeep, our team is always busy!      I've gotten to work on a range of projects and I've been out on site a lot since I started working. I've been to a few sites around Chicago and its suburbs, including North Park University and Graceland Cemetery, I've been to estates in Michigan with views out over the lake, and I've been to a few houses in Newport, Rhode ...

Not yet in Lesotho. Cultivating skills and self-education.

Hi, my friends. I leave for Lesotho on September 22 and am living at my parents' houses until then. I started off my summer doing some organic farming around Baton Rouge, and it was a fulfilling way to earn a few bucks. I killed 75 chickens in a day and learned how to butcher, I installed irrigation lines, and I picked watermelons, corn, cucumbers, beans, squash, tomatoes, and more. I really think that my long-term vision involves farming. It is a hard life, but worth it. The middle of my summer was divided into a number of small trips. One was to visit ya boy Logan in Asheville, then attend the Cullowhee Native Plant Conference with Eric Vanbergen and Will Reinhardt. Will is such a lad, equally professor and friend. As part of the Microsoft shutdown, I ended up stuck in the Atlanta for 30+ hours. Fortunately though, I made some friends from London in the process. Another voyage was to Colorado with my friend Chingyu. I came to many conclusions throughout our conversations together...

Schoolless life: working, biking, hiking and whatnot.

Hello again! I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying life. Here is what I've been up to. I spent the month of June in Cambodia volunteering with some missionaries. It was an experience I will never forget. Very hot weather. Chaotic traffic. Really tasty tropical fruit. Some of kindest people.  One day while I was there, I got to visit a university in Phnom Penh that has an architecture and urban planning school. It was neat talking to the students and seeing their work. Several times while I was there, we would take a ferry across the Bassac River to visit schools in the province. Pretty cool, but a little sketchy.  After returning to the United States, I spent time with family for a few weeks, packed up my things, then moved to California! I found a job and a place to live in Santa Maria, which is close to where my girlfriend lives. I started work at PleinAire Design Group in August, and it's been good so far! I'm biking to work since I don't have a car yet, but the...
