    Hello folks, I hope all of you are well, and that work has been rewarding. I have been enjoying work and realized the other day there isn't all that much of it left.  Before long we'll be back in school, and although I'll be happy to see everyone again, I know I will look back and remember everything I said I was going to do but never did. So I implore everyone to go and do whatever it is you have been promising yourself that you would.  

    Recently, work has been made up almost entirely of construction documents, spread across a few different projects. I have been enjoying being a part of the process in creating, compiling, and refining details, and getting to ask questions about construction processes and methodology.  I find this part of the project very fun, with construction details honestly being something I look forward to doing.  Recently, there was talks about constructing small parts of an upcoming project in office, in order to verify what we are detailing. This is partly because the project is using a unique precast concrete module to make up a part of a retaining wall, and this is not something anyone has much experience with, so it's been fun being part of a team that's learning on the run a bit.

    Also, as Carbo labs continues to take shape, many from the office have been taking time to weed the beds, including me. I love that the office has been doing this, and it's been great to get some time working in a garden and be hands on with plants.



    In other news, I went back to Maryann Brown recently, and it was nice.

   Also went to the Festival International in Lafayette, which I had never been to. Had a good time walking around to the different booths and trying the food.

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.
