Reid- STOSS - 3/23-4/5

 Hello all, time for the new blog.

Fun little 2 weeks, starting a new project, so got to go onsite and document and take photos, it was fun but i did delete them all because they are already on the company server and i didn't love the park it self.  

Getting to work on Reconnect Chinatown master plan for Boston, really fun and I get to do some modeling work for community engagement. First day on the team my "boss" Albert sent me to eat dinner with a bunch of old Chinese pep for a focus group, food was amazing and one of the person is the owner of the restaurant, had great chat about 9man volleyball. Which is very racist if any of yall r interested, it only allows Chinese decedents to play, the official rule books says 7 full blood Chinese and 3 half Chinese. No photos for this it was private or something.

Cool ice-cream shop with 200 different flavors, was great but a little too sweet, felt diabetic.

don't know if video will work but here's a bird.


Weekend, got to play basketball with Albert and Yanchi, was fun but it was freeeeeezing outside, had lunch with them after. Great time. Will continue this weekend hangout. 


Week 2 of this blog, it started to get boring, more token stuff, it's fun but it's repeating a little, all and all good, helped with some purposal stuff, was fun. My studio director, who is allegedly my office dad, was in for the week, it was funny seeing him get angry at shit because he sits right across from me and he does not get angry like that often, but all and all boring.


 Thursday there is a Landscape Technology Forum at GSD, went with Chris, he was talking in it so got to hitch a ride with him, fun GSD beef heard on the way. Surprisingly he listens to white girl music. Was not expecting that, or maybe it's his family, but he seemed like he also liked it.
You can see the bold man, that's him.

Weekend, hang out with Yanchi and Albert again, like i said i think this will continue, it's Ping pong this weekend, and dinner together, Albert is my PM, and him music taste is what i expected, classic, and Italian. dude know Italian. and Spanish. plus English and Mandarin. I'm aspired to be Albert.

That wraps it up i think, good to post again, Taylor if you see this comment crabs below or i will be angry.

Anyways, here's another bird photo.
See yall in 2 weeks.

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...
