ULI Hines Competition
Revitalizing Urban Plan for New Orleans
As part of the Urban Land Institute’s annual competition this proposal seeks to provide a coherent masterplan for the Lafitte Greenway sector in New Orleans. “Stitches” - Programatic amenities that respond to the particular necessities of a neighborhood. They connect together the disrupted fabrics and repurpose unused infrastructure throughout the site. “Water Management” - The landscape brings the water management infrastructure to the public realm. It is responsible for creating a functional sense of place while at the same time reshaping the collective memory of water in New Orleans. “Scalar Densities” - The particular densities of structures in and outside the Greenway are determined by the programmatic needs of the region and the surrounding urban context in each case. “Modular Development” - Due to the careful specificity of program placed throughout the Greenway, the site can be developed simultaneously in modular segments while not compromising its overall function.
