Xtreme LA

Exciting week at school! But my camera broke, so I only have a few borrowed photos to illustrate what happened.

I will have to explain it to you all when I talk to you next, but basically we got to work on an urban design project in Austin with a bunch of young professionals from all over the country. In design lingo it is called a 'charette.'

It was great to work with so many smart, creative people, but the best part was the 3 free meals a day!

On the final day we presented our design schemes to some officials from the city who are working on redeveloping our design area. (basically a bunch of guys in dockers)

Here is my team, led by Susannah Drake of dlandstudio in Brooklyn.

And the other team, led by Sarah Kuehl from PWP in Berkeley.
