Make It Right [website]

As RD+A continues to bring architectural liberation and research we are proud to bring you a post of personal grandeur. This is New Orleans Louisiana 9th Ward post Katrina.

Celebrity face, Brad Pitt + Make It Right, have teamed up to respond to the devastation left by Katrina. The images, we believe, are representative of where human condition and where the progressive nature of architecture is headed and being implemented.

Pre-Katrina you have a degenerative and unstable architecture. A community already is despair from socio-economic and cultural conditioning. It’s an unprepared design ideology that was hit with the worst mother nature could offer and the results were catastrophic.

Our nation and a strong community has stepped up to an unprecedented challenge. 9th Ward today is a model for preventative design efforts that could be main-streamed in similar topographies. The designs themselves are unyielding to what a thoughtful architect and team on philosophically minded individuals can construct.
