the green ark project / a new orleans born lifestyle...

a fresh and innovative proposal combines sustainable and green techniques with a locally inspired contemporary architecture. this prototype project offers a solution for people that lost their homes, achieving a very high architectural standard. rebuilding is seen as an opportunity for creating a new orleans born style…site massing counterpoints and reinforces the contrast of a large mass and six minor structures, while open space acts as a transparent link that extends under the buildings,
volumes float over a green leveled carpet where elevated walkways conect apartments and houses. no habitable spaces touch the ground.
