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].
