Prior to European settlement little over 200 years ago, the area today known as New Orleans was occupied by Native American Indian populations for nearly 10,000 years.

First visited by Europeans in 1541 when Spanish explorers discovered the Mississippi River, permanent European settlement began when the French claimed the territory in 1682. By the early 18th century, New Orleans city founder, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, initiated the first urban development in what remains today the Vieux Carre. Decreed a city by Bienville in 1718, New Orleans was laid out by the French engineer, Adrien de Pauger, in a classic eighteenth-century symmetrical gridiron pattern consisting of 66 squares forming a parallelogram. Responding to the area’s existing natural conditions, this early gridded development occurred on sites of natural high ground. In November 1721, New Orleans had a population of 470 people: 277 whites and 172 black and 21 Indian slaves.

In his book, “New Orleans: The Making of an Urban Landscape,” geographer, Peirce Lewis, described New Orleans as “an inevitable city on an impossible site.” In 1803, with the signing of the Louisiana Purchase Treaty, the United States acquired significant territories from France, including New Orleans, at roughly 3 cents per acre. New Orleans’ population in 1803 was approximately 8,000 including 4,000 whites, 2,700 slaves and 1,300 free blacks. In 1805, New Orleans was incorporated as a city and despite the numerous dangers and challenges presented by the area’s natural geography and geology, continued to urbanize with development expanding on high ground adjacent to the Mississippi River.

Lake Pontchartrain

“As the city expanded out of its original limits, one of the first new tracts of land to be added was the Faubourg Sainte Marie, a suburb lying on theuptownsideoftheVieuxCarréandseparated from it by a broad “commons” (now Canal Street, New Orleans’ main street). The Faubourg Sainte Marie became the “American section” in the early 19th century and the hub of most business activities.Otherfaubourgs(outskirts,orsuburbs) were laid out above and below the two nuclear settlements and across the river and were finally absorbed into the city by the 1870s.”

As one of the nation’s key economic trade ports, New Orleans experienced a golden age of growth and prosperity through the middle of the 19th century. By 1840, the city was rated the fourth port in the world and the fourth largest city in the nation, with a population that exceeded 100,000. Despite this golden age, the city was not prepared to manage its growth and lacked adequate services and infrastructure for its population: drinking water came from the river or cisterns; no sewerage system existed; drainage was deficient; and flooding was common after heavy rains. Natural conditions in New Orleans, as a result, made both flooding and sanitary conditions into severe problems for the city’s inhabitants, with catastrophic consequences for public health.

In the wake of the Civil War, New Orleans’ municipal debt limited the city from making sorely needed municipal improvements.

Therefore, in the last 20 years of the 19th century, New Orleans made limited progress.

Between 1840 and 1900 New Orleans dropped to 12th place in national rank of most populated cities. Despite this lull in prosperity and amidst less than ideal conditions, the city’s population increased to nearly 290,000 by the end of the century.

Lake Pontchartrain

After many years of minimal or failed efforts to improve municipal services and utilities, the 1890’s marked a critical decade for public utilities in New Orleans.

Prominent citizens came to realize that without an adequate drainage and sewerage system and an adequate supply of drinking water, New Orleans’ economic growth would be stunted. In 1895, the city adopted the New Orleans Drainage Plan of 1895, which marked the advent of modern drainage in the city.

“But the people cannot have wells, and so they take rain-water. Neither can they conveniently have cellars or graves, the town being built upon “madeground”;sotheydowithoutboth,andfew of the living complain, and none of the others.”

- Life on the Mississippi, 1883 Mark Twain

Hurricane Rita. One month after Katrina, the Lower Ninth Ward, not yet dry from Katrina, is flooded again.

Hurricane Katrina was the most catastrophic natural disaster ever to take place in the history of the United States. The scale of the devastation measured in miles and encompassed enough land area to blanket Great Britain.

80% of New Orleans was covered in water, setting the scene for a dramatic evacuation of its occupants. In the wake of this flooding, 85% of the city’s population was dispersed and 62% of its housing stock was damaged or destroyed. Subsidence and erosion caused by human interventions exacerbated the catastrophe, while the uneven distribution of devastation further highlighted a pre-existing condition of socioeconomic and racial inequality. As of July 2007, approximately 67% of the city’s pre-Katrina population has returned with the lowest percentage of residents returning to areas, such as the Lower Ninth Ward, which were most adversely affected by flooding caused by Katrina.

CONTEMPORARY CONDITIONS

Despite the return of much of the city’s population, the future of New Orleans is uncertain. Two years after the hurricane, the city still suffers from an extraordinary deficiency in infrastructure and services, neither of which has been restored to pre-Katrina conditions.

Despite the heightened national and international attention and tremendous influx of concern and consideration from leaders in politics, planning, architecture, economics, environmental science, and psychology focused on New Orleans in the wake of Katrina, the city lacks any coherent vision for rebuilding the city.

Unless New Orleans is prepared to radically rethink its strategy for occupation of its territory, which has proven perilous time and again in the face of its location within a high risk environmental zone, the future of New Orleans will be threatened. Poised at this critical moment

in history, we, as a collective, need to identify the salient issues and critical factors that are keeping New Orleans, as a whole, from returning to the vibrant state for which it is so widely recognized.

How can we create a vision for a sustainable future in New Orleans – one that recalibrates the city’srelationshipwithitsenvironmentalcontext?

How can we articulate a plan for re-constituting New Orleans in a way that is fundamentally transformative, yet rooted in the long history, culture, and soul of the city?

How can this plan, at both a macro scale and fine grain, respond to the city’s demographic, economic,political,social,historicalandcultural conditions and needs?

And finally, how can we, as a society, parlay our transformation of one of the most catastrophic natural disasters to face this nation, into an optimisticandvisionarystrategythatintelligently negotiatesourrelationshipwiththeenvironment and serves as a model for communities facing similar challenges all over the world?

As designers, we have chosen to exploit our strengths as outsiders—removed from local politics and conflicts of interest— while addressing the potential weakness of our naiveté by engaging local advisors in our process. This process has involved ongoing dialogues with pillars of the local architectural, political, and academic communities; compilation and analysis of both pre- and post-Katrina press, reports, proposals, and data; precedent studies of historical disasters and comparable world cities; and finally, the proposal of our own solution as a way to analyze and define the problem, and move the important dialogue about this city’s future forward.

The shape of this built environment—not just the bend in the river—earned New Orleans its enchanting old nickname, Crescent City.

2005 New Orleans’ unique geographical context makes it prone to frequent hurricanes and tropical storms. On average a hurricane makes landfall every 2.8 years. Louisiana has few barrier islands but New Orleans, in particular, has a generally smooth Gulf of Mexico bottom and lack of coastal irregularities. This combined with the erosion and sinking of land, and the increased water levels of the Mississippi, create an ideal scenario for maximum wave damage and flooding throughout the city.

Hurricane Katrina left 80% of New Orleans covered in water. The areas that escaped flooding were predominately urbanized before the 1890’s, when the city’s population reached 250,000.

The estimated cost of buying out all flooded property is $9 Billion, less than one third of the cost of improving existing flood control systems.

“Building Category 5 protection here, however, is an astronomically expensive and technically complex proposition. It would involve far more than just higher levees: There would have to be extensivechangestothecity’ssystemofdrainage canalsandpumps,environmentalrestorationon a vast scale to replenish buffering wetlands and barrier islands, and even sea gates far out of town near the Gulf of Mexico. The cost estimates are still fuzzy, but the work would easily cost more than $32 billion, state officials say, and could take decades to complete.”

The distribution of catastrophic flooding caused by Hurricane Katrina further highlights a pre-existing situation of socio-economic and racial inequality. However, the overall mix of race throughout the city makes it one of the more culturally diverse urban areas in the world.

2005 The poverty rate in New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina was already 23.2%, almost twice the national rate of 12.7%. Despite somewhat integrated wealth distribution, areas of greatest poverty were still most significantly affected by flooding.

2007

Based on data from the US Postal Service, the July 2007 population index indicates a return of approximately 67% of the city’s pre-Katrina inhabitants. Areas of extreme flooding, including the Lower Ninth Ward, are found to have the lowest percentage of returning residents.

The shotgun house, predominant throughout New Orleans, can be broken down into two primary components: the house itself, where the residents live; and the foundation, on which the house sits. The vibrant culture of New Orleans and the Ninth Ward is reflected in the unique and often colorful houses that the residents have always had a major hand in designing for themselves. To enable the residents of the Ninth Ward to once again craft their culture, we have reinvented the foundation upon which they can build.

Our concept is twofold: 1. To design a foundation that enables the house to function independently of the basic infrastructure and public services that have yet to be adequately repaired in the Lower Ninth Ward and which are likely to fail again.

2. To create a new house that rests upon that foundation but is wholly integrated with the natural environment, respectful of New Orleans vernacular, and enriched with sustainable technologies.

HOUSE EVoLUTION

To accomplish this, the foundation of the house must be simultaneously specific and forgiving, like the chassis of a car. The chassis hosts all of the essential mechanical and technological equipment to provide the house with power, water, and fresh air.

Additionally, the foundation should protect the house from future water and weather threats. To accomplish this, the foundation was engineered out of expanded polystyrene foam, which is encased in glass fiber reinforced concrete. This composite results in a strong, resilient foundation that will float with the rising flood water.

Unlike a typical car chassis, GM’s skateboard chassis is engineered to support several car body types. Much in the same way the SABS foundation can support many different house top configurations.

Conceptualization

Specialization

The foundation of the house is reconceived as a chassis, embedded with technology and equipment essential for operation.

The chassis is designed to achieve complete integration with the systems it houses.

Safety

The chassis, which floats, also protects the house from flooding.

Assembly

The house represents the integration of prefabricated and site constructed modular building systems.

2

Sustainability

The form and design of the house is fully integrated with the mechanical and support systems that allow the home to function largely independent of traditional city infrastructure.

The chassis of the house is the primary element around which the rest of the house is organized and assembled.

Consisting of a thickened raft slab, a service core, and a large roof top rain collector, it is designed to take maximum advantage of shop labor rates and quality control available through off-site fabrication. Constructed of polystyrene foam and glass fiber reinforced concrete, the pre-fabricated unit is shipped as a whole to the site with all required wall anchors, rough-ins, electrical and mechanical routing pre-installed. Sized for transportation on a standard flat bed trailer, all required system storage and internal infrastructure are installed in the shop. The unit is placed on site atop four stabilizing concrete pads located between a front and rear exterior deck, which act as the anchors for the house when in flood mode. The decks and their associated grade beams are constructed on site using local labor and conventional construction techniques. Finally, the modular wall framing, interior finish elements, prefabricated roofing, and remaining system components arrive on site for assembly in the field. The specific design and resultant form of the chassis allows for easy maintenance of all systems.

LP and wastewater tanks are accessed from outside the house, while filters, batteries and mechanical components are accessed from within.

Shading

Exterior shading in the form of large roof overhangs and exterior louvers aids to regulate, both the interior and exterior climate of the house.

Mechanical / Natural Ventilation

The house relies on passive ventilation through window placement and sizing that encourage cross-ventilation. Passive ventilation is supplemented by an active whole house fan system, which pulls air through, up, and out of the home. Finally, a more traditional HVAC unit is provided to cool each room individually on an as-needed basis.

Materialization

Areas of fiber reinforced concrete used in the house chassis and rain collector, are left exposed on ceilings and floors to store and transmit cool energy throughout the day.

We believe that controlled urban re-growth, coupled with a strategic return-to-nature, will revitalize and enrich New Orleans while paving the way for a more sustainable future.

A shrinking city is in fact a denser, richer, more vibrant city.

New Orleans will not endure without a broad, macro-scale vision that addresses and synthesizes the region’s unique social, cultural, economic and ecological conditions. We have responded to the Make It Right Foundation’s initiative “…to be a catalyst for redevelopment of the Lower Ninth Ward, by building a neighborhood comprised of safe and healthy homes that are inspired by Cradle to Cradle thinking, with an emphasis on high quality design, while preserving the spirit of the community’s culture,” with what we consider a micro-scale solution to the region’s problems – a prototype for a single family dwelling that addresses the immediate and critical need for safe and healthy housing in the Lower Ninth Ward. Our design for this prototype proposes a self-sustaining structure designed to function independent of civic infrastructure and services and to survive the inevitable environmental dangers of the area without catastrophic damage and loss of life.

SOLAR SOUTH

N

SP 01 SITE PLAN

While our design provides an intelligent solution that can accelerate recovery in this specific district of the city, it is also connected to a much broader, longer term planning concept for the entire region. We envision that this prototype would facilitate a strategy for transforming and preparing New Orleans as a whole for a safer and healthier future.

This macro-scale vision entails a radical, but gradual, return of much of the flooded areas to nature as wetlands and parklands with the simultaneous restoration of the city to its original high ground status.

25

Areas of the city that were settled prior to drainage of the region’s wetlands, which ushered in the development of low lying areas, would be intensified. These historic areas of the city are naturally located on higher ground and are connected to the economic engines of New Orleans’ future and the cultural traditions of its roots.

The phased strategic plan delineating green spaces and urban zones is based on our analysis of the areas of extreme flood damage, estimates of returning population, and locations of existing and proposed infrastructure and services, transportation, parks, and thriving economic and cultural activity. Gradual depopulation and restoration of wetlands would follow a carefully considered and phased implementation plan:

Phase One: Respond to the immediate needs for safe and healthy housing through rapid deployment of the MIR floating house prototype throughout the Lower Ninth Ward, in the Eastern wetlands areas, and in all high risk areas as needed.

As of July 2007, approximately

90,000 PEOPLE in

49.4 square miles of low elevation / high risk areas

-Greater New Orleans Community Data Center

Phase One will allow a significant percentage of the displaced population to return safely to a home with minimal dependence on infrastructure and services. With the introduction of a new housing prototype and the Cradle to Cradle approach to living, residents can begin to experience a more direct and productive relationship with nature and broaden their understanding of the delicate balance that exists between themselves and the environment in which they are living.

Restoration of properties, in non-flooded neighborhoods, that were blighted or abandoned before Katrina will commence.

26

Phase Two: Encourage depopulation of the most dangerous and high risk development areas, per FEMA flood zones, through buyout programs that identify damaged and high risk properties and offer financial incentives to residents occupying these properties.* Coupled with the initiation of wetland restoration, this phase would consider preservation of all historically and culturally significant assets.

Prior to and concurrent with this phase, restoration of the blighted and abandoned properties that exist on high ground would begin as a means of replenishing the housing stock. Much of mid-city is on high ground and consists of buildings that were abandoned prior to Hurricane Katrina. These projects will be revitalized and restored with a minimum of infrastructural costs to provide quick and ready housing to the relocating population at an affordable rate.

PHASE 2

Portions of highest risk (FEMA flood zone) areas are restored back into wetlands. The restoration starts with the highest risk and least historically and culturally significant areas.

city densification:

15,000 PEOPLE from

1.7 square miles of low elevation / high risk areas relocate to low risk areas.

*Taxpayer-funded buyout of damaged properties has already begun. The Louisiana Recovery Authority has overseen taxpayer-funded buyout of 19,000 storm-damaged homes, the majority of which are located in areas that sustained the worst flooding. Significant percentages of property owners who have sought aid from this program are opting for buyout rather than rebuild, indicating a trend toward relocation. (“Louisiana to buy 19,000 ruined homes,� Brad Heath, USA Today, September 17, 2007)

Phase Three: Continue to encourage depopulation of all high risk areas with a goal of reaching a density that is one-third the size of the original high risk population and occupies one quarter of low elevation/high risk areas. Conservation of significant historic and cultural assets such as the St. Bernard Area, Gentilly Terrace and the Lower Ninth Ward, would continue.

city densification:

30,000 PEOPLE from

12.5 square miles of low elevation / high risk areas relocate to low risk areas.

Phase Four: Depopulation of the remaining at risk FEMA flood zone areas, including selected historic and cultural sites, would continue until the region has reached its optimal density levels. Determination of the exact configuration of this final phase would be premature at this stage. Careful evaluation of the region’s important historical and cultural assets would have to take place in collaboration with historians, city officials, community representatives and planners before a final assessment is made about their preservation amidst the complete restoration of wetlands in these areas.

11.1 square miles of low elevation / high risk areas relocate to low risk areas.

This macro-scale vision, which works in complete synergy with the micro-scale solution, introduces a more sustainable approach to living in the New Orleans environment. Considerate of social, economic, cultural and ecological conditions and needs, it is our hope that this strategy will gradually encourage residents who have resided in high risk zones to reconsider relocation to higher ground. Ultimately, this strategic planning concept aims to return New Orleans to an optimal state, one that accommodates the population, albeit in a denser and more compact urban environment, and that restores the region’s natural attributes with the goal of creating a city that is sustainable, feasible, efficient and safe. History has already demonstrated that this particular region has an optimal density and occupation pattern at which it thrives and it is this configuration that we aspire to restore.
