Annotations may be added to diagrams and illustrations to enhance the information being presented. When developing digital hybrid drawings, conventional hand drawing techniques may be used to further illustrate or explain an idea textually, or with reference lines for example. It must be a deliberate decision to utilize analog styling for annotations, when a crisp […]
Our group intend to reconnect the Bayou Lafourche and Mississippi River in the future. So, we collect the information of historical events of the Bayou Lafourche and Mississippi River. Before 1905, the Bayou Lafourche was connected with Mississippi River. Then, after 1905, the Bayou Lafourche was disconnected with Mississippi River, resulting in the water of […]

Since environment, infrastructure, and ecology are changing over time, these pictures are the transect of different moments in eternity. The original photo […]
My thought of Louisiana landscape in the relationship between the infrastructure and the ecology is the adaptation of nature. Landscape is changed by natural process. The idea started from the relationship between infrastructure and the ecology as how they blend in and live together. To investigate this narrative, I had a chance to explore the […]
