April 20th- Emily Poulter

Hey everyone I hope everyone is staying safe... flattening the curve... and all the other phrases we will never want to say again once this is over. The state troopers are going to stop enforcing border control between Louisiana and Texas on Friday. That sounds so crazy to me. Can yall believe next week is finals week? A semester goes by really fast when youre not at school! With the travel ban lifted and school being almost over I am ready to have friends visit from BR.

Nothing much has changed since my last post. After a week of drinking too much and not working out at all I am back on track. I have a workout/yoga schedule to make sure I am working on different areas  (it also helps me keep track of what day it is). Riley and I ran 1.5 miles today, I do not like running. I always tell myself go for a run it will be great! Then while I'm running I feel like I am going to die. I guess I am just a yoga/ballet type of girl. But I will do it again.

 

I figured out how to set up my hammock on my balcony. Very happy about that. I have been crocheting a lot. Ive been making masks for people. I also decided to make a baby blanket for Riley's niece. And I made a cute scrunchy.


I bought a grow light because some of my plants dont like being outside in the heat but we dont have good windows.

Resin Jewelry with wildflowers is going to be my next project. I just bought a kit so now I have to wait 2 weeks for my flowers to dry out. I cant wait to see how they turn out.

Miss you guys!! Anyone thought about what they are doing for capstone? I have no clue

    Resin wildflowers sounds cool, especially with the bluebonnets!

    Those flowers look like paintings :O. For capstone I had an idea of some kind of pandemic resilient landscape, but now i'm sick of all to do with pandemics so I'm not sure anymore

Lately we've been working mostly on a couple of residential projects. One of them is for a local radio guy, which is pretty interesting. Part of the program is going to be an outdoor recording setup, so we need to deal with noise. I also got to put together a short video for the office Instagram of the concept process.   Other than the residential projects, we've also been redecorating the conference room. We're using professional photos taken after some big projects finished up and hanging them to showcase the office's work. We're doing it mostly DIY, and hanging them on these vertical mounts.

Happy May y'all! Not too much has changed since my last post, but there are a few interesting things.  Work:  The project Bosshard Ranch is still on hold by the client, so nothing new to report there. My main focus has been on the  Bear Island project. I finished up the site analysis and now I am working on the illustrative plans for the project. We haven't finalized a design yet, but since Mike thinks this will be a project to submit for an ASLA award I just finished making an illustrative plan for the existing conditions. I haven't done a full illustrative plan at DW up until now so this has been a great learning experience.  I recently got put on a new project for 3 Creek Ranch Clubhouse. It is a country club out in Jackson, WY. That makes it now my third project out in the area. We are once again working with Prospect architects to redo a part of the clubhouse and pool area. Basically all I have done up until this point is create the CAD base for the project. Hopefully

Kaylin Wilson’s Viewport - First Week

Greetings, Houston is lovely. I really am shocked that I like this city as much as I do. I love the area I’m living in. OJB is nice and the workload the first day compared to the second week is night and day. The first day was really nerve wracking and slow, but now it’s fast paced and busy busy. My coworkers took me out to lunch the first week, such angels. I am the only intern, and have decided to make a file for future interns so they won’t go through what I went through. I just think that would be helpful in the future. Doing a lot of work with VectorWorks and LandFX right now. Sometimes I ride the bus to work, but the drive is only 9 minutes away. Making a ton of new friends! Jk, I have no social life but I am staying busy becuase Houston has a ton of stuff going on. Went to a vegan festival last week, and TWO EDM concerts. Saw KSHMR (10/10) performance absolutely a must see, and KASKADE... eh I would give him a 6.8/10.. Shocking I know. I got a few plants for my apartment and o
