NETHERLAND ARCHITECTURE INSTITUTE::::::ROTTERDAM
NEWER ORLEANS::::A Shared Space
January 20 to March 12 006
RE DIRECT TXT from The NAI :
New schools, a clearly defined city center and new green spaces connecting to the river: following the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina everything must be rebuilt in New Orleans. But how? New Orleans desperately requires inspiring plans for its regeneration. Together with the Tulane School of Architecture in New Orleans and the American art magazine Artforum, the NAI has asked six renowned architecture practices from the Netherlands and the USA to develop visions for symbolic and shared spaces for the New Orleans metropolitan area. The practices are MVRDV, Ben van Berkel (UN Studio) and Adriaan Geuze (West 8) from the Netherlands, and Huff + Gooden Architects, Morphosis and Hargreaves Associates from the USA. The NAI will exhibit their proposals for a "Newer Orleans" from January 20 to March 12. The exhibition will be accompanied by debates about water management and related topics in Rotterdam and New York.
