LSU Minden Main Street Workshop: Webb Hardware

WELCOME

WELCOME 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.

Webb Hardware - Preparing our Presentation

Today was a LONG day. We started off bright and early - around 8:00 on our work. We were still laying out our floor plans, working on the roof design, the lasercut file, and the 3D model. We all worked really hard. We broke around 6pm to go get some food. We reconvened shortly after and began our all-nighter. I went home at 3:30 (because I was driving to Minden the next day), but the rest of the group stayed until 7:30am. I got to studio at 8, and began mounting our boards for the presentation. We had s good time working (and playing), but it is relieving to be done with the production phase of this workshop!
