Operation Gutter to Gulf

This Blog is a collaborative effort between Washington University in St. Louis and The University of Toronto to examine and develop an integrated water management plan and infrastructural strategies for the city and its surrounding region. The studio will examine water as a means to rehabilitate the urban landscape of New Orleans. Multiple scales of architecture, landscape, infrastructure and urbanism will be researched and designed as inextricable parts of the same whole, tracking and integrating water from the gutter to the gulf [of Mexico].

Preliminary Study Models 1/16/09

Today in groups of two we began to formulate ideas for how to portray the sectional information we will recieve from the University of Toronto in a series of intersecting 'blades'. We discussed the need for many interchangable levels of information, as well as the ability to add information once we are in New Orleans.
