Ashton: Blog #4

 Hi everyone!!!!

The third month of interning is coming to an end and I am very happy about it. I feel like I am getting more into the nitty-gritty at work now; I am cleaning up surveys and consulting cad files. It's very time-consuming and confusing but it's been a great way to learn how to use CAD. I am scheduling with Douglas next week and I was very surprised to find out I have to take 3 more electives, which I am definitely not happy about. If anyone reading this is also taking electives next year please let me know what you plan on taking :)

On a lighter note Madeline came and visited us this past weekend and we had a blast. We went tubing and on a coaster and showed her all the pretty sights near the Aspen area. It was a nice little break from working and really fun to catch up with her. I am finally coming back to Louisiana for a few days next week for a wedding and I am so pumped. The fist thing I will be doing is eating 30 pounds of crawfish then heading to Popeyes to get a 5 piece dark and spicy. 

Every week I fall more and more in love with DesignWorkshop. I love the environment here and how laid back they are. Every week there is a new learning session for everyone in the firm, and you really feel like they want you to succeed. I am working on the same projects as the last blog post but I have been out on one more last week. This will be my first project that I ma one from day 1 which I am very excited about. 


Programs used last week:

Photohsop

Indesign (always0

    I think I plan on taking Japanese art. Its MWF 12:230-1:20. Not sure if it counts as an elective or not.

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
