Piety Street Bridge & Wharf

摘要

The project was sparked by Hurricane Katrina as an unparalleled opportunity to re-evaluate a languishing stretch of waterfront and to supplement New Orleans' unique character, unusual street grid, and historic architecture with visionary yet practical and contemporary sustainable design. The riverfront development plan was established in 2007 and 2008, and proposes a key role for a six-mile stretch along the East Bank of the Mississippi River. From Jackson Avenue upriver to the former Holy Cross school site just down river of the mouth of the Industrial Canal, this plan envisions an urban, active, beautiful river crescent for the city's citizens to enjoy.
