Reimagining Risk: New Orleans
Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen, Allen Eskew, Carey Shea
Introduced and moderated by James Russell
April 3, 2008Post-Katrina, the need to rebuild has provided the catalyst for architects and planners both to restore and re-envision New Orleans’s urban landscape. Underpinning their efforts is the research and support provided by a growing and increasingly interconnected network of social agencies and philanthropic organizations. Is there visible progress? What initiatives have been successful? Why have some design schemes failed? What short-term solutions hold promise? What is the long-term picture for the preservation, restoration, and rebuilding of New Orleans?

Part 2 of 4: Allen Eskew of the New Orleans firm Eskew + Dumez + Ripple, discusses some of his firm’s current projects, which include a new high school, VA hospital, and the BioInnovation Center.
