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 4 of 4: James S. Russell, architecture critic for Bloomberg, moderates a Q&A session with Allen Eskew of Eskew + Dumez + Ripple, Carey Shea of the Greater New Orleans Foundation, and Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen of Workshop APD.
