people and place
mission
The New Orleans Center for Documentary Studies is a place where friends and family can gather and interact in a public place. The program of the project will promote artistic endeavors of local community members and encourage social interaction among people of all backgrounds. The function of the building must refl ect its invested interest in the well being of the surrounding neigh-borhood while being proactive in celebrating its creative resources (creative people with stories to share). The productions displayed by the center must “embrace the imagination of the neigh-borhood” (Rachel B.) and inspire others. Those seeking to experience, listen, learn, share, interact, and engage in culture are the Center for Documentary Studies target audience . According to Carl Deal, a documentary fi lm producer, “Documentaries construct a point of view.” The building should work as a resource to make this process possible. It should be a place that the visitors are inspired by, provides places to think, refl ect on memories, invent, and dream.
The Center for Documentary Stories should be primarily public, free, accessible, and responsive to its visitors. It is important to alleviate the tension between indoor and outdoor spaces. The center functions as a community center for its direct neighborhood as well as contributing as a puzzle piece to the culture of the entire city of New Orleans. The program collaborates many forms of documentary medium such as literature, fi lm, music, and collaborative projects.
My personal mission for this project is to research and analyze appropriate information to highlight the specifi c unique characteristics in order to manifest the building in its context and amplify its contribution to the community. It should be a building for the people and culture of New Orleans. My mission is to create a place where stories can be gathered, produced and realized, and shared with the community.

Inspiration:
social interactionimpromptu encounters are where some of the most intriguing stories are told, people are al-ways looking for an icebreaker, a “conversation starter”. These encounters often happen in unorganized spaces where people feel comfortable and willing to express themselves.

New Orleans is in a hot and humid climate. Controlled exposure to sunlight is critical.
Common tropical storms create an aware-ness of windload and may influence code related issues such as “hurricane” proofing.
In tropical storm season, the management of rainfall becomes a critical issue. Because of the elevation of the city, New Orleans utilizes pumps to extract flood water.
Hurricane Katrina had a unmistakeable impact on the Bywater District. It has left not only natural scars in the environment but also emotional scars in those that live in the area. It is critical to understand the local climate in order to design efficiently.

center for documentary studies
bywater districtOn the outskirts of Downtown New Orleans, the Bywater District is primarily a residential district where a growth of interest is occuring. New venue spaces, shopping areas, res-taurants and other economic interests are quickly changing the area. Surrouding the site, a diverse range of building types refl ects the rising interest in the district.
Chartres St. is the primary route for traffi c. Along this route is light industrial building types with scattered residences.
Gallier St. intersects Chartres St. at the site and provides a route to the residential district. If there were to be larger events held in the Center for Documentary Studies, this road could be blocked off to vehicular traffi c and used for pedestrians.

The Art House at the Jones Center is a renovated building (adapted re-use) and expanded into a community art center where spaces are fl exbile and adapt to varying displays. The building uses simple materials and utilizes experiential circulation to create a unique feeling. The climate in the area provides opportunity for a roof terrace. Many of the spaces in this proj-ect are informal and organized for social interaction.

FLUIDITY BETWEEN INTERIOR/EXTERIOR
VILLA SAVOYEARCHITECT: Le CorbusierLOCATION: Poissy, FranceBUILDING TYPE: ResidentialYEAR: 1928
Villa Savoye is a an iconic piece of architecture that expressed the international style, Cor-busier’s idea of modernity. The building is elevated from the ground to extended the conti-nuity of the green space beneath. The functional roof, or the garden terrace, provides fluid circulation and spatial organization between the interior and exterior. The facade serves only as a skin on the wall and wraps the complex interior. Corbusier viewed buildings as machines for living and circulation of various forms was highly recognized as deriving form.
FLUIDITY BETWEEN INTERIOR/EXTERIOR
The Inner City Arts Campus is an inspiration as a community facility. It lives in an underde-veloped part of the Los Angeles area and thrives as a beacon to the community. There is a series of indoor and outdoor spaces to create a sense of community and fluidity suited to the areas climate. “The central gathering space is both a retreat from the street beyond as well as a functional working space for the facility, surrounded by a series of flexible adja-cent studios.” (arcspace.com) Materials include: stucco, concrete, paint, glass, and native landscaping.

THE WALL
There is a wall that has disconnected the resi-dences of New Orleans from the most important landmark to the history of their development. The wall that protects the city from fl ooding sits upon the highest piece of land and blocks the view of the Mississippi River.
CONNECTION TO THE RIVER
There is such a strong re-lationship to between the river and the develop-ment of the city of new orleans that it is important for people to have a vi-sual connection to it. The building is pulled up to capture these views.
ARTICULATING
The top of the “park” will provide priveleged views up and down river. This journey is celebrated by the continuous path one can take to reach the view and the sharing of stories along the way

The organization of program is logical but doesn’t yet refl ect the fl udity be-tween spaces as the form suggests.
Circulation has become the driving force for the programs relationship to the form with the Multi-Purpose Room as the anchor.
The elements and details of the build-ing need to be “tamed” to reveal the simplistic idea.

story telling parkThe Center for Documentary Studies roofscape would be an extenstion of the Reinventing the Crescent Project. A visitor could use the building without using the interior programmatic spaces. Instead, they could enjoy a “park” like atmosphere where social interactions occur and an awareness of their location and relationship to the river becomes apparaent.

BIKER[BY CRESCENT PATH]

[BY CAR]
TELLER IN-RESIDENCEOR GUEST SPEAKER
One of the most inspirational occurances of the semester was the Free-Writing session with Rachel B. from the Neighborhood Story Project. We were told to free-write about anything we wanted. I started to imagine the perspectives the local people would have in realtion-ship to the new Center for Documentary Studies. I imagined different characters and the routes they would take to get to this destination. This allowed me to embrace the culture and reality of the neighborhood.

“we have a STORY to tell you””trouble the water
responseThis semester was about telling the story of my project. Starting from the larger contextual scale, we had the privilege of emersing ourselves in the culture in our visit to New Orleans. By designing the many layers of this project, I began to understand the importance of detailing and continuity of concept. I have gained confi dence in my understanding of building systems and design abilities.
I view my project as not only a continuation of a park but also a node in the Bywater District, where people can gather to express their indivuality and their perspective of the world around them.
