A Different Kind of Star Architecture promises to transform a historic, low-income New Orleans neighborhood decimated by Hurricane Katrina. On Dec. 3, Brad Pitt's Make It Right (MIR) project unveiled 13 proposals for safe, affordable, and sustainable houses in the Lower Ninth Ward. The designs revisit traditional building types -such as the shotgun and the camelback-while introducing elevated frames, modern living spaces, climate-specific technology, and a variety of novel forms.
