New Orleans Canal Walk
New Orleans, LA
CrookedWorks
Spring 2017
Conceived by Carey Clouse and Zachary Lamb of CrookedWorks, this Canal Walk proposal seeks to engage residents in the floodwater management strategies of New Orleans. By inhabiting a landscape that is presently hidden from view and reinterpreting it as a playground for people, the proposal acts as a mechanism for understanding the environmental risks of the area.

Working in collaboration with my colleague Nicholas Jeffway, we visited, documented, and modeled the various site conditions in New Orleans over the period of several days. We were then tasked with developing a design strategy and kit of parts for a resilient, minimal impact canal walk. I composed rendered views, and Nicholas developed axonometric diagrams.
