NOLA study areas

This map represents the convergence of individual work the studio did following our NOLA field trip. We have narrowed our collective focus to the area surrounding two adjusted transects that run lake to river, including certain spacial and infrastructural connections between them:

1) London Avenue Canal/Elysian Fields
2) 17th Street Canal/Washington Ave Canal/MLK
(connections include Bayou St. John, City Park, the Lafitte Corridor, Jefferson Davis, I-10, and the railroad)

Six groups will study specific aspects of the existing condition in these regions:

1) residential case studies (housing typologies throughout the study area)
2) infrastructure moments (highway, canal, railroad crossings)
3) bottom of the bowl trends (relationships between three adjacent neighborhoods)
4) "blue/green" connections (connective tissue between the transects, see map)
5) surface trends (resettlement patterns, vacant land, etc)
6) physical sections (spaced along transects)

These groups will present their research at the mid review on Monday, March 2, in addition to documentation of all previous Wash U and Toronto work.
