to the LSU Minden Main Street Workshop. Students and faculty from the LSU School of Architecture will be working and living in Minden for two weeks to provide assistance to Minden Louisiana Main Street in their efforts to cultivate a resilient community. This program is funded in part through a grant awarded to the LSU Office of Community Design and Development from the National Endowment for the Arts. The Minden Main Street Workshop is the first in a series of workshops to connect environmentally responsible design practices with historic preservation strategies to accelerate sustainable development in Louisiana's small towns and cities.

Team Webb Hardware 12-15

Started the day off with warm weather- heck yea! But really the weather has gotten warmer compared to last nights low of 22 and everybody’s spirits are up. We had a lot of drawings and stuff to finish before our critiques this afternoon. It seemed that lunch time came in no time to everyone. After lunch our group took a visit to our building to obtain some final measurements and was able to get to the roof- it looked like they were up to nothing but mischief because our tape measure was flapping in the wind like a kite. Everyone was able to get their work done before the crit. During the crit we were faced with many options that we could move forward with and now that it’s the end of the day we get to head to Professor Desmond’s lecture on the history of Minden. After the lecture we plan to get a bite to eat at a local place and then get back at it. Peace.
