This book is the product of a one-year investigation of New Orleans and its animate forms of exchange within the Lower Mississippi River Basin. Completed by the Harvard University GSD just weeks before Hurricane Katrina struck, the research cuts through multiple scales and topographies as it moves from synthesizing the vast deltaic plain to carefully measuring and calibrating the liminal space between the river and the city's urban edge, color & b&w illus.

New Orleans: Strategies For A City In A Soft Land

This book documents the work of URBANbuild, a comprehensive two-year program at Tulane University School of Architecture initiated by its founding director Ila Berman to actively support the rehabilitation of the city of New Orleans in the aftermath of the storm of August 2005. URBANbuild local_global is quite literally a double-sided book that reconnects local research, analysis and design for New Orleans with a broader global framework that embraces knowledge and experience drawn from comparable world water cities.
