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. For more information, please contact the Office of Community Design and Development.

Anddd WE'RE BACK!

So today was the first day back after the holiday festivities and such. We're in the basement and in a studio that used to be a first year one so a lot of people have a bunch of new supplies...
We are picking up from where we left off in Minden-there is a lot of work to be done. We're going to stay late today and try to get as much work done before tomorrow. We need to be completely done at the end of tomorrow because on Wednesday we are traveling to Minden for the last time to present our project to our clients. We are also laser-cutting and assembling our model tomorrow.
Today we worked on completing the floor plans, roof designs, the building program, and started playing around with the layout of our boards.
