CARBO - March 30 (Isa)

 March 30

Wassupppp party people!! I hope everyone is having fun at their internships still! I know that staring at a screen all day can be kinda draining lol! So still working on municipal projects! Went on another site visit to Mirabeau with Amy and saw some progress being done! A whole trailer/truck was packed all the way with sabal palmettos!! It’s going to look awesome! Started working on planting designs as well with the commercial studio. Oh, for those who don’t know, there are different studios in CARBO: Municipal, Commercial, Institutional, and Residential. People work underneath multiple or stick to their studio! Hunter and I have been able to work in the different studios, which has been really great! We also had our crawfish boil on Friday! It was lots of fun and was very delicious. We played croquet and threw my frisbees lol, Hunter even managed to get it to the neighbor’s yard! On that Thursday, though, we were able to work on our CARBO labs. CARBO received plants from New Jersey from Proven Winners and is testing out to see which plants could work best in Louisiana’s climate as well. It was a lot of work, I got a pretty nasty sunburn on my back, but it was a lot of fun to get our hands dirty and just to be outside! After the boil, I had an 8-hour drive to Chattanooga! It was really fun, and our team did really well. I also forgot to mention that the weekend before, we had another tournament in Austin, TX! It was Nick’s first time being able to be there to support me and the team lol, so it was a really great experience too! I also got to see The Lumineers on Thursday night with some frisbee friends! Anyways, see y’all later!!!

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...
