Collaborative Project
Working off of initiatives such as the National Trust For Historic Preservation’s Main Street Program and the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority’s Facade Renew, the studio documented separate single block areas of commercial corridors throughout the city. Initially investigations involved documentation of the existing and historical research into the development of the area. Meeting with representatives from NORA and Broad Community Connections furthur shaped the considerations taken throughout the project. The group research concerning each corridor was utilized for individual facade restorations proposals as a means to continue the commercial viability of the area, while restoring the architectural elements of the original buildings.
