A LIVE Design Competition to Celebrate New Orleans Style Architecture.

New Orleans, LA

October 18-20, 2007

Few cities in America boast such a rich architectural heritage as New Orleans. From its earliest days, New Orleans has been a city that has fostered one of the most unique architectural environments in America, with styles ranging from French and Spanish colonial to the Shotgun Doubles of the 19th century.

Architecture has always been a living part of New Orleans’ vibrant culture and today it continues to house the city’s spirit of celebration. New Orleans is synonymous with great food, great music and wonderful architecture. New Orleans architecture has captured the hearts and imaginations of visitors for hundreds of years.

Working with set parameters, such as lot size, square footage, and style, the task for three days was to design and hand-draw a new “old” house for one of New Orleans’ most famous historic districts.
