Goat House
9th Ward, New Orleans, Louisiana Fall 2009 _ URBANbuild Studio with Make it Right Organization During a 2-week charette each student or pair of students in the studio was asked to present a possible façade design for a mobile goat house. The goat house was an idea developed by the Make it Right Organization in order to maintain the empty lots in the 9th ward. Without maintenance, overgrown lots become a hazard and are confiscated by the city. This façade was designed by Ana Borja and me. The openings are designed to provide a range of shelter from the weather with the most protected area housing the food and water. Over a period of two months, we began building the prototype during studio hours. The project was finished by the next Urbanbuild studio. |
