Urban Landscape
At the urban level there is an understanding that the urban fabric of the area is altered by the market that will be placed there. The diagrams and animation “urban regen_1” illustrate the changes of habitation of the urban context from pre-Katrina, through the flooding, and rehabitation of the area post-Katrina. The animation “model 3” illustrates the flows that were graphed as occuring within the urban context. These flows represent flows of people, information, and goods and services. Through these understanding of the flows at the urban level the market is seen to regenerate not only the freeway, but the surrounding neighborhoods, and even the larger urban context. The final timeline is a resultant of this cumulation of this research and design. The timeline illustrates this regeneration over to almost 7 years, and is a prediction of the urban reaction.
