CARBO - April 27th (Isa)

 April 27th

Everything and everyone at CARBO has been really great! I just wish at times that there were a bit more impromptu conversations and such, but other than that, things are really chill! Have been working on Folia and other planting projects! Still working on proposals and such, and sadly have been put to a halt on the playground design due to BREC not having the funds for it atm, or they’re trying to figure it out, but we all know how that goes lol! Hunter, Christopher, and I were able to attend the LCASLA conference and got to learn a lot!! There was this really great speaker who was an arborist and provided a lot of insight into trees. The room was so so quiet and intrigued by what he had to say! A lot of the CARBO team actually left at the same time, around 3:30 for different reasons, but that was funny. I had to leave to drive to Decatur, Alabama, for Regionals. (Shoot, idrk where this falls, but MY TEAM WON SECTIONALS!!! That means we got 1st place in the Gulf Coast!! It was super, super great and emotional, the LSU women’s team has never done that, so it was awesome to have done that, so freaking proud of my team, guys!!!) We went and played our hearts out against these big dog teams and got 5th place overall out of 30 teams!! I'M JUST SO FREAKING HAPPY TO SHARE THAT OMG!! Anyways, I hope everyone is doing so fantastical!! OH, Rose had her baby too on 04/18/26!!!! So crazy, saw her guts and everything, but the baby and mom are healthy and fine!!! Oh also! Christopher and I were able to go see Raye at Jazz Fest!! Y’all have probably heard her popular song, “Where’s My Husband” lol! She was so so great, and I had lots of fun with Chris!!! (Also pretty sure my frisbee timelines are all jacked up and a lot of everything else as well, but I really tried my best, guys!!)
Love and miss y’all so so much!!!!

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...
