LSU helps rebuild

Bruce Sharky, one of my professors at LSU, led his studio in the redesign of the post-Katrina lakefront in Jefferson Parish. While the levees didn't quite brak, the area was still devestated and needed a vision for how they could get back on track. The student plan was so good that has been officially adopted by the Parish. That is really special:
“I hope the students recognize the significance of this,” said Sharky, a 16-year-veteran of the LSU School of Landscape Architecture. “This kind of thing doesn’t happen very often.”
He isn't kidding.
