The Tulane School of Architecture is recognized for our robust community outreach, design-build, and interdisciplinary research initiatives including the Center on Climate Change and Urbanism, coastal and riparian issues, historic preservation, sustainable real estate development, and social and environmental justice. The complex nature of this region provides ample opportunities for comparative global studies. For this reason, we expect TuSA’s contributions to be of urgent relevance in the discourse of Architecture and the Built Environment.
