Media and Building Towards a NEW New Orleans
Sixth Ward
CITYbuild School: Georgia Institute of Technology College of Architecture
Working in tandem with an undergraduate design studio at Tulane University, Georgia Tech students are formulating thesis proposals in a two-semester sequence titled "Media and Building Towards a New New Orleans." The impact of media, and notions related to media, exist at several scales within any design project. Several wide ranging issues--from the social to the political to the economic--generate anxiety around the problem of rebuilding in New Orleans. New Orleans, as an historical and a modern city still reeling from the trauma of Hurricane Katrina, remains in need of new thinking, as well as new and thoughtful building. Set within the New Orleans Sixth Ward, students will propose new programmatic conditions in response to their critical positions on rebuilding and the future of New Orleans.
