Carbo - Hunter Gueydan + Isa Periban

Hunter Gueydan-

  Firstly, I am sorry for the delay on this post. I have a lot to put on this, and Isa will also be posting on this until she is able to post on her own.

Carbo Crawfish Boil

Me + Isa on a site visit
    Since starting at Carbo I have had the opportunity to go on site visits, sit in on meetings, and of course work on interesting projects. One major road block early on was learning vectorworks, which I had never worked in. But after getting comfortable in it I find it preferable to CAD for most 2d drawings, and having the ability to work in three dimensional space in the same software instead of transferring to rhino is great. 

    At Carbo I have been with the institutional studio, working under principal Zach Broussard and famed grading professor Hayden Hammons. During this time I have had the chance to work on projects for multiple universities and schools across the state, such as LSU, Southern, and UL.

I'll be sure to post more soon, but for now I'll hand it over to Isa. Y'all have a good one.



Isa Periban - 

    Hey guys! I miss y'all so much! I've been M.I.A not because of my own doing but since I never received an invite to the blog. I'm not sure if it was entirely Max's fault or some type of glitch with the invite but who cares lol! I'm just gonna leech onto Hunter's blog for some time I guess lol! ANywayyyssss It's been pretty great here at CARBO although it can be excruciatingly quiet at times lol (i just get really anxious when people can hear my every movement lol but ive gotten used to it lmao). The people here are great and so fun though! We go out to lunch every friday and at times have puzzle breaks (yall should definitely check out the magic puzzle company their puzzles are so freaking cuteee)! I've been to a couple of site visits to New Orleans and BTR; I was even able to go to a site visit by myself to Folia which is a project CARBO is working on that is literally 2 minutes from my house in Bossier!! SO CRAZY!! I have been working on many municipal projects so far! Amy has been so cool to work with! I've been working on an Inclusive Playground for a while and yall know me I was freaking having a blast with that! We've had planting days for CARBO labs and a crawfish boil to follow that! We played croquet, Hunter threw my frisbee to the neighbor's yard, and we ate a bunch of crawfish lol. I was also able to go to the Capitol for Landscape Architecture Advocacy day where they designated April as Landscape Architecture month in Louisiana! Big thing for us!!!! I've had a good time being here in btr and actually having time to do things and even being able to just take quick weekend trips with Nick to Houston, Home or NOLA! I've been going weekly to trivia night at Cheba hut with Christopher and Rose with other friends who have been able to make it here and there, Maya was actually able to come on moustache trivia night! I've also been able to go to Austin and Chattanooga for frisbee tournaments without having to worry about schoolwork whoop whoop which is a totally different experience!! Also saw The Lumineers like last week! So yeah, life has been great thankfully, just stressed about other life things but that's the norm! Also, I'll have a new roommate soon, Rose's baby!! Threw her a baby shower not too long ago! She's going to be induced on April 17th so yayyy!! Happy and super stressed!! Hope everyone has a great Easter and I'm so glad to see everyone having such a great time at their internships! Can't wait to see everyone again! Oh and I'll ask now but if yall can bring back a souvenir for me from wherever yall are at, can literally be a cool rock, that would be incredible! Love you guys!! (also realized I need to take more pics lol!)

OJB (Houston) - Taylor - 1

I guess I'll be brave for once and post first lol. I also have nothing to do right now and everyone around me are in meetings I wasn't invited to 😞. I started at OJB early last month, January 12, as I imagine a lot of y'all have as well. My first couple days consisted of onboarding paperwork, software setup, and getting to meet the rest of the team. Chandler, my desk buddy and the main guy who finds me things to do, had me update some rhino models and Lumion renderings to begin with. The highlight of my first week though had to be making it onto the website. I felt way too proud of that. You gotta scroll all the way down to the bottom to find me 😂.  I began some real work doing grading studies for a clock/art installation/stage/tower/overlook over at the University of Houston. Thank God for Hayden or else I would've embarrassed myself for not knowing basic grading 👀. I modeled the thing like 15 different times as the team tried out new ideas of how to fit it into the...

Hey guys! Hope all is well at school or on your internships! Some background about where I am working for the currently, Wenk is a landscape architecture office based in Denver that works on a huge range of projects, from more urban park spaces to campus planning and tons of wetland restoration. So far, I’ve been lucky enough to work on six different projects, which has made every day feel different and exciting. A big chunk of my time has been spent on two master plan renderings. I have also been working on a community outreach presentation for a local park 2 mins from my house! Looking forward to drawing concepts this  upcoming Friday ! They’ve been both tedious and oddly relaxing at the same time. During my first week, I also got to go on a couple of site visits, which was a great way to dive in. The first visit focused on tree mitigation, where we marked which trees were being removed for a future trail and documented their condition. The next site visit was at CU Boulder’s sop...

Had to work on Sunday and Monday to push deadlines but I'm getting comp time for it thou so all good. Deadline was due on Wednesday so pushed that and did some graphics for the competition, got it done Wednesday afternoon, got Friday off and only worked Thursday half day on finishing and cleaning up boards and graphics.    Got to reunion with Yanchi on the weekend. Wonderful city, loving it, food is to kill for, and commute is decently easy without a car, miss my cats but life been good.
