Architectural Record Announces
Winners of Katrina Design Competition
Exhibition of All Finalists On Display
At New Orleans' Ogden Museum
NEW YORK, NY (May 9, 2006) --
McGraw-Hill Construction's Architectural Record, in
partnership with the Tulane University School of Architecture,
today announced the winners of its Katrina Design Competition,
which will serve as a catalyst to reassess, re-envision and
redesign New Orleans' housing needs. The fourteen winning
designs plus those from additional finalists are currently
on display at New Orleans' Ogden Museum, and will travel to
the American Institute of Architects (AIA) annual convention
in Los Angeles on June 8.
The professional competition, High Density
on the High Ground, asked architects to develop a 140-unit
housing community on a high-ground site by the Mississippi
River. The student competition focused on a new vision for
a New Orleans House Prototype, an affordable, single-family
home on a typical New Orleans lot. Over 600 architects and
students worldwide entered the competition. The winning designs
were created by:

"New Orleans is a city with
a rich architectural history and unique style, but the realities
of massive redevelopment are raising concerns about the face
of the city's future. The Katrina Design Competition is an
ideal way to foster the discussion on what New Orleans could
look like in the future," said Robert Ivy, FAIA, vice
president, editorial director, and editor-in-chief of Architectural
Record. "The severe damage inflicted on New Orleans'
housing stock truly has taken its toll on the lives of the
city's residents. However, there is an opportunity to design
practical, affordable solutions which define the New Orleans
style, which will help breathe new life and rebuild lives
in a city with immediate housing needs."
