Proposed Housing Designs for N.O.’s Lower 9th Ward
January 23rd, 2008
This is one of several proposed designs for sustainable, affordable housing to be built in New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward. The designs were submitted to the “Make It Right Project‖founded by actor Brad Pitt– by 14 national and international architectural firms. Make It Right plans to build 150 multi-family homes in the Lower 9th, each designed to help reduce high energy costs and have low impact on the environment. Pictured above is a design by the Philadelphia based firm, KieranTimberlake Associates. You can peep the full lineup here. Lots of odd and interesting picks in the bunch.
