Cana Boudreaux/Design Workshop/6

 Hello everyone,


    Work has amped up again lately for these past couple of days has I've been transitioning from sketches to AutoCAD for a couple of weeks now. My team are finally in the stage of ironing out and refining our concept sketches for Firestone Central park in more detail, which is exciting. Our client has really enjoyed the fact that we've been working on advancing these concepts further along more than usual. This time around, I created 4 sections using AutoCAD that I'm looking forward to render sometime soon. For Alamo Square Park, we are pushing towards finishing up our 30% CD documents by the end of this month. I've worked on the existing conditions plan, site demolition plan, and the site materials plan. Last but not least, the Boulder Parks and Rec Master Plan workload has picked up a little as I'm now contacting different key benchmarking cities to retrieve accurate data. My team and I are trying to gather different statistics regarding park facility inventory and urban parkland acres. I'll soon contact the respective parks and rec departments for different cities. I hope they respond via email because I can't stand talking on the phone when I have so much to say. That's why I began to give myself a script to follow whenever I'm calling a department for any information.


    Outside of work, nothing has dramatically happened other than the fact that we're still getting snow. On my walk outside, snow was getting heavy all of a sudden and I was confused as to why snow was still occurring in April. Me and all my fellow officemates were all disgruntled at the fact that snow was coming again after we had glorious days of sunshine. During those days of sunshine, the dry air is very noticeable and can be a little irritating, especially when the wind suddenly picks up to at least 40MPH out of nowhere. I still won't forget the fact that I was caught up in a sudden windstorm when I was trying to bring pizza back to the hotel. Ever since then, I've been more cautious walking outside.


I hope everybody is doing well, I look forward to seeing you all again.

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
