Jazz Center and Heritage Park, a major downtown development designed by Morphosis, are displayed in addition to a range of replacement housing proposals by well-known practitioners. Also included are the entries from six finalists in the first stage of a competition sponsored by the organization Global Green USA and Brad Pitt, which propose sustainable housing for New Orleans. Material from the book New Orleans: Strategies for a City in Soft Land is presented as well.

Symposium |
||
| Sustainable Dialogues II, Panama and New Orleans Museo del Canal Interoceanico de Panama November 15, 2007 All events are free and open to the public. |
|||
| Organized by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, with Anthony Fontenot, Princeton University. |
|||
| Following the relinquishing of control of the Canal de Panamá by the U.S. to Panama in 1999 and the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005, an incredible outpouring of international response from architects and environmentalist has generated debates on the notion of “sustainable” deign strategies for the process of reconstruction. Such massive reconfiguration of territory has raised pressing questions concerning the possibility of integrating various natural and artificial systems. At least in the case of New Orleans, while “sustainability” is held up as the goal for development, contradictory practices often follow. In the past seven years Panama and New Orleans has experienced extreme transformations in its natural and urban landscape. Will the current processes of urban reconstruction create a basis for a sustainable future or cause further devastation? |
