During the fall of 2019, three Louisiana Tech University architecture students worked on a plan to enhance the Poverty Point World Heritage Site, the largest and most complex settlement in North Louisiana. These students were recently able to present their project to Louisiana’s Lieutenant Governor, Billy Nungesser, who is looking to expand tourism in North Louisiana.
Miranda Sharp, Jakob Mier, and Traci Reyes took on the project under the direction of Kevin Singh, Professor of Architecture for Louisiana Tech’s School of Design. These students came together through their shared memories of visiting Poverty Point on elementary school field trips.
