WORK EXPERIENCE: Randy M. Goodloe Architects
May 12’-Aug 12’
At Randy Goodloe Architects I worked as an intern for a small firm that specialized in high end residential and local corporate buildings. My duties included typical office work such as organizing and cleaning, as well as a lot of time in AutoCAD. My jobs consisted of doing red lines, and general drafting of floor plans and full set of construction documents. Eventually I
Waste Water Specialties May 11’-Aug 11’
While at WWS I worked as a technician cleaning up environmental spills and other hazardous materials. This job allowed me to work in teams, solving problems, and provided me with an appreciation for my education and hard work.
Buquet & LeBlanc Construction May 09’-Aug 09’
During the summer after my freshman in college I worked in Baton Rouge as a carpenters assistant. During my time there I helped in the renovation of the LSU Union Theatre, and saw the first phase of construction completed. I learned all that is involved with putting a project together, such as the various companies and industries that come together. I was rewarding to see a project from start to finish and being used by the public.

CONCEPT: THE CUT CONCEPT STATEMENT THE IDEA BEHIND THIS NEW STRATEGY FOR THE PARK IS A SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE METHOD. THE NEW STRATEGY CALLS FOR DIRECTIONAL CUTS THROUGH THE EXISTING TOPOGRAPY, SLICING AND PEELING BACK MOUNDS, BRIDGING ECOLOGICAL ZONES AND TRAVERSING THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE IN NEW AND INNOVATIVE WAYS. THESE CUTS BOTH VISUALLY AND MENTALLY CONNECT CERTAIN KEY ASPECTS OF THE SIGHT IN BOTH OLD AND NEW PROGRAM PROVIDED. COUPLED WITH MORE TRANSPORTATION STOPS ALONG THE PERIPHERY, AND AN EXTENDED PEDESTRIAN NETWORK, THE CIRCULATION OF THE PARK IS MORE EFFECTIENT AND EFFECTIVE. ALSO BY UTILIZING NEW TOPOGRAPHIC BUFFER ALONG THE EDGES, THE CENTER OF THE PARK IS MITIGATED FROM EXTERIOR NOISE OF THE BUSTLING CITY. THE OVERALL GOAL SEEKS TO ACHIEVE SOCIAL, ENVIORMENTAL AND ECONOMIC TO THE CITY AND THE ADJACENT NEIGHBORHOODS

Concrete walls extend through site to slow sediment in high water level flows.
Access points along the site allow for users from different regions of Downtown to DeSoto. Paths are elevated to allow access year around and during time of train barriers.
La. Capitol
Pedestrian Lawn Lawn cuts through plantings visually connecting the Capital with the Mississippi River.
Catwalk Elevated boardwalk through the site allows the user to experience the site amonst and above the trees and planting, while also being above flood heights.
Adjacent river contains valuable sediments used in the sedimentation process. Flucuating levels provide obsevrations of dynamic water landscape.

DESOTO PARK DESIGN STUDIO Baton Rouge, LA Urban Park Phasing
Due to the violent nature of Desoto Park’s location it is succeptiable to varying water levels through out the year, leaving scum lines and sediment stains. Every couple of years require routine maintenance and cleaning to up keep its beautiful white facade.
Another wonderful feature of DeSoto is the lovely meadow that greets the visitor. In order to achieve this, routine mowing of the fields and lawns every five years allow the grasses to grow, but is cut before trees begin to seed. This achieves a unified feeling throughout the years.
Because of the large sediment walls implemented throughout various locations, debris and trash can become lodged around the walls and underneath the catwalk. After flood waters receed, maintenance crews come in to clean the site of trash and other things sent down from the Mississippi River.
