Please help us widen the agenda for the imminent rebuilding of Southern Louisiana through your submission of Odes & Ideas, Proposals & Strategies & Everything in Between.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Rita, the School of Architecture & Design at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is collecting strategies for the relief, re-imagining and rebuilding of the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast, especially the major metropolitan center of New Orleans, Louisiana. The rural areas, small towns and cities which constitute metropolitan New Orleans are unique cultural treasures which have been decimated by Katrina and Rita and thus necessitate that the intellectual and creative talents of the world be brought to bear upon these urgent, unprecedented events.
The goal of this competition is to project strategies and ideas to ease the distress of the evacuees, aid the rescuers and relief workers and preserve, rebuild, redesign and re-imagine and protect the post-Katrina/Rita environment of the Gulf Coast.
sweet! This is something we've been discussing alot in the office particularly since the mandate of our office is similar rebuilding (an island, however) after wide scale disaster. Alot of things we've put in place is active mitigate through improving building codes and practices. Most of this actually began before the volcano, from hurricane HUGO in 1989.
