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.

Final Full Day: Team Crichton

Blog: 12/21


Today we had a very productive day. We are almost finished with the floor plans of the design. Laina and Josh were looking at modern interpretations of balconies to add to the courtyard elevation. Unfortunately after our client meeting, we were informed that many of our original elevation plans were not feasible for the rehabilitation tax credit. On the bright side, our client is very pleased with the work that we have done and is excited to see the final presentation.
