The New Orleans Center for Documentary Studies is a place where friends and family can gather and interact in a public place. The program of the project will promote artistic endeavors of local community members and encourage social interaction among people of all backgrounds. The function of the building must reflect its invested interest in the well being of the surrounding neighborhood while being proactive in celebrating its creative resources (creative people with stories to share). The productions displayed by the center must “embrace the imagination of the neighborhood” (Rachel B.) and inspire others. Those seeking to experience, listen, learn, share, interact, and engage in culture are the Center for Documentary Studies target audience . According to Carl Deal, a documentary film producer, “Documentaries construct a point of view.” The building should work as a resource to make this process possible. It should be a place that the visitors are inspired by, provides places to think, reflect on memories, invent, and dream. The Center for Documentary Stories should be primarily public, free, accessible, and responsive to its visitors. It is important to alleviate the tension between indoor and outdoor spaces. The center functions as a community center for its direct neighborhood as well as contributing as a puzzle piece to the culture of the entire city of New Orleans. The program collaborates many forms of documentary medium such as literature, film, music, and collaborative projects. My personal mission for this project is to research and analyze appropriate information to highlight the specific unique characteristics in order to manifest the building in its context and amplify its contribution to the community. It should be a building for the people and culture of New Orleans. My mission is to create a place where stories can be gathered, produced and realized, and shared with the community.

climate analysis sunlight
New Orleans is in a hot and humid climate. Controlled exposure to sunlight is critical. spring equinox: march 21 summer solstice: june 21 73 degrees fall equinox june 21 73 degrees
Common tropical storms create an awareness of windload and may influence code related issues such as “hurricane� proofing.
In tropical storm season, the management of rainfall becomes a critical issue. Because of the elevation of the city, New Orleans utilizes pumps to extract flood water.

winter solstice: june 21 73 degrees
Hurricane Katrina had a unmistakeable impact on the Bywater District. It has left not only natural scars in the environment but also emotional scars in those that live in the area. It is critical to understand the local climate in order to design efficiently.

CURRENT LOCAL PROJECTS: Reinventing The Crescent ESKEW DUMAR + RIPPLE linear multi-modal park The Reinventing the Crescent Project stretches along the banks of the Mississippi River throughout the New Orleans area, seeking to connect the city by a strand of public linear parks. The location of the design site provides an anchor to the park in the Bywater District. The park is influential in creating a new flow of pedestrian traffic and interest in the area.

On the outskirts of Downtown New Orleans, the Bywater District is primarily a residential district where a growth of interest is occuring. New venue spaces, shopping areas, restaurants and other economic interests are quickly changing the area. Surrouding the site, a diverse range of building types reflects the rising interest in the district. Chartres St. is the primary route for traffic. Along this route is light industrial building types with scattered residences. Gallier St. intersects Chartres St. at the site and provides a route to the residential district. If there were to be larger events held in the Center for Documentary Studies, this road could be blocked off to vehicular traffic and used for pedestrians.

The Art House at the Jones Center is a renovated building (adapted re-use) and expanded into a community art center where spaces are flexbile and adapt to varying displays. The building uses simple materials and utilizes experiential circulation to create a unique feeling. The climate in the area provides opportunity for a roof terrace. Many of the spaces in this project are informal and organized for social interaction.

VILLA SAVOYE
ARCHITECT: Le Corbusier LOCATION: Poissy, France BUILDING TYPE: Residential YEAR: 1928
Villa Savoye is a an iconic piece of architecture that expressed the international style, Corbusier’s idea of modernity. The building is elevated from the ground to extended the continuity of the green space beneath. The functional roof, or the garden terrace, provides fluid circulation and spatial organization between the interior and exterior. The facade serves only as a skin on the wall and wraps the complex interior. Corbusier viewed buildings as machines for living and circulation of various forms was highly recognized as deriving form.
CIRCULATION DRIVEN FORM
FLUIDITY BETWEEN INTERIOR/EXTERIOR
The Inner City Arts Campus is an inspiration as a community facility. It lives in an underdeveloped part of the Los Angeles area and thrives as a beacon to the community. There is a series of indoor and outdoor spaces to create a sense of community and fluidity suited to the areas climate. “The central gathering space is both a retreat from the street beyond as well as a functional working space for the facility, surrounded by a series of flexible adjacent studios.� (arcspace.com) Materials include: stucco, concrete, paint, glass, and native landscaping.

THE WALL raise park up for views
There is a wall that has disconnected the residences of New Orleans from the most important landmark to the history of their development. The wall that protects the city from flooding sits upon the highest piece of land and blocks the view of the Mississippi River.
raise park up for views
CONNECTION TO THE RIVER There is such a strong relationship to between the river and the development of the city of new orleans that it is important for people to have a visual connection to it. The building is pulled up to capture these views.

Instead, they could enjoy a “park� like atmosphere where social interactions occur and an awareness of their location and relationship to the river becomes apparaent.

One of the most inspirational occurances of the semester was the Free-Writing session with Rachel B. from the Neighborhood Story Project. We were told to free-write about anything we wanted. I started to imagine the perspectives the local people would have in realtionship to the new Center for Documentary Studies. I imagined different characters and the routes they would take to get to this destination. This allowed me to embrace the culture and reality of the neighborhood.

“we have a STORY to tell you”” trouble the water
response This semester was about telling the story of my project. Starting from the larger contextual scale, we had the privilege of emersing ourselves in the culture in our visit to New Orleans. By designing the many layers of this project, I began to understand the importance of detailing and continuity of concept. I have gained confidence in my understanding of building systems and design abilities. I view my project as not only a continuation of a park but also a node in the Bywater District, where people can gather to express their indivuality and their perspective of the world around them.
