| description |
|
Taking as its subject a linear swath of land from the lake to the river—from the Pontchartrain Park to the Bywater neighborhoods—this project imagines a matrix of locks that would create a substantial water management system. The locks allow for flooding of certain designated areas, to control the path of storm waters and to establish a newly permeable landscape. Such a lock system that creates a wetlands landscape inside the city limits would sustain and preserve land designated for building sites. |
