Introduction

This is my first post of what I hope will be many concerning the rebuilding of my adopted hometown New Orleans.

As an architect this tragedy affords me the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a part in the reconstruction of one of America's great cities. But this blog will not confine itself to subjects of architecture and construction alone as politics, culture, society and finiance have a large impact on our built environment and thus will be a topic of commenting.
