Why You Should Attend:
New Orleans is synonymous with great food, great music and wonderful architecture. Wherever you go in New Orleans, history surrounds you. From Creole Cottages of the oldest French and Spanish neighborhoods to the Eastlake Shotgun Doubles of the 19th century neighborhoods, New Orleans architecture has captured the hearts and imaginations of visitors for hundreds of years.
In four days you can explore the aspects of the region’s rich design legacy – from churches to theaters, public and commercial buildings, to the wide array of residential styles. Learn how well coordinated project teams of architects, developers, planners, building owners, and artisans utilize both high technology and centuries-old craftsmanship to maintain, restore and rehabilitate historic structures.
Find out how new construction, too, is reinterpreting older forms and styles. Experience how skillful designers are creating the new old house and adding artful, sympathetic additions to existing structures. Or how new affordable housing can be created to mesh with the vernacular styles of earlier eras.
Hundreds of Exhibitors – Looking for the right products to restore your building or build new in a traditional style? Meet face-to-face with exhibitors of historically-accurate products for the restoration, renovation, and traditionally-inspired new construction markets. This event a must attend for those who love old homes and buildings.
