port citynew orleans is the port city. ini-tially providing the french a place to settle, later bringing economic prowess, and lastly providing a setting for the clashing of cul-tures that created what is creole new orleans, the port has, had, and will have a profound impact. radially strung along the missis-sippi river, new olreans exists as a product of topogrophy, the rich claiming high lands near the river banks, and the poor and sprawl settling back in the bayous and swamps.

waterlife begins and ends with water in new orleans. essentially a city below sea level, prone to frequent floods and hurricanes, keep-ing water out is a never- ending concern for new orleansians. the city installed a system of hy-draulic pumps to continuously re-move ground water, allowing ar-eas previoiusly uninhabitable to be developed. regardless, water and nature seek to return everything to the ground, as David Reutelage states, "it's a city that always appears to be losing, but a city that keeps fighting back.

most recent memory leaves us with hurricane katrina to reflect upon new orleans. the damage and destruction that was caused was practically unimaginable, even to the residents familiar with regular storms. the city is once again asked to rebuild. a variety of projects are underway, but who returns, and to where exactly, is continually altering the urban fabric of new orleans.

peoplethe port and river also brought people to new orleans, and all kinds. truly one of the most multi-cultural cities, new orleans is a public hotspring gifting the world with great food and music, and a truly unique lifestyle. un-heard of to some, and perhaps intentionally, the culture that is new orleans, and the celebrations that come with it, have allowed nola to earn the name, the "big easy". amidst all the despair and threat of certain danger, peo-ple there exude a playfulness, an ease, and an overall undestanding of a good time.

visiting with new orleans archi-tects informed the studio of var-ious standards for design in new orleans, one of which being the garden plan.a planning scheme for residential development. ma-jor and minor axis dictate "front" and back" conditions. lots facing major axis face street. one lot on each minor axis. all construction is done with no setback, allow-ing a communal street presence for each residence as well as a communal greenspace towards the rear. this scheme is how, con-ceptually at least, most blocks in new orleans are arranged.

mission statementprogrammatically, the new orleans center for documentary studies began with a mission statement. find a direction for your facil-ity and make informed decisions based on how to best achieve that direction. with feature ele-ments like gallery space, radio station, and performance/event space, this facility needed to take on a spirit, have a name: wbyr radio.
34
WBYR is a new format radio sta-tion based in the Bywater District of New Or-leans. It conceptualizes, produces, and edits both
professional and amateur radio bits from the Bywater District, New Orleans, and the world, while simultaneously broadcasting to the Bywater District, New Orleans, and the world. WBYR seeks to not just broadcast but commu-nicate with its listeners and neighbors. Focusing on audience interaction it is a radio station that
speaks as well as listens.
35
preliminary investigations were to explore a space budget. the fol-lowing data was derived from a rough space budget denoting major program requirements as well as individual research on the varying program spaces

the studio visited multiple black box performance spaces. the in-vestigation of the studio became how to open up or rethink the traditional black box, while still understanding and operating with the performance and acousti-cal guidelines and criteria of any performance.

lastly the studio was to develop usage concepts. through narra-tive, we were to follow a few in-dividuals who would align with, or perhaps look to learn from, our projects mission statement. focusing on the gallery, event space, and radio station activities, we were to begin to understand how these activities could inter-relate within a gradient of people.

the bywaterthe site chosen was in the bywa-ter neighborhood of new orleans, located between the french quar-ter to the west and the lower ninth ward to the east. as a new up and coming artist's commu-nity, the bywater is presently ex-perincing a rise in both inhabit-ants and economy. a bustling new neighborhood, it is thriving but still keeps to the traditional new orleans attitudes about place, community, and home.

the siteat the corner of gallier st and chartres st in the south bywater is our site, a roughly 100' x100' lot located just north of the le-vee wall and river. essentially a residential neighborhood, this community center had the op-portunity to gain a food hold in a community busy developing a new identity. visiting the site allowed the studio to study, document, and photograph it in its entirety.

analysisanalysis studies sought to further understand the site as an envi-ronment. vernacular traditions and site constraints initially formed design concepts about mass-ing and connections with exist-ing fabric. these diagrams would become a series of rules helping root wbyr in its bywater commu-nity

massinga small site and extensive pro-gram made massing a necessary focus initially. through iteration, the major programmatic elements were arranged and composed ac-cording to site analysis, vernacu-lar traditions, program require-ments, and overall functionality.

73
stacking the program spac-es behind a circulation/exhibi-tion corridor proved most suc-cessful. slipping program sections back and forth, even creating a canyon, were explored. essentially though the building became inef-ficient as gallery and circulation space began to increase.

by consolidating the radio and administration levels into a hybrid radio space, a floor plate was able to be removed. next the circulation corridor was ro-tated and split creating a much simpler, logical, code abiding, "c diagram". in order to replace the porch of the originial scheme, the bottom two floors were pulled back creating a double height lobby space

interactivitylooking to atelier bruckner's con-cepts on stage production, physi-cal user participation with wbyr became the next driving fac-tor. a series of operable led screen were incorporated to al-low potential users the capacity to change the building's facade with various images. respond-ing to user groups, wbyr could begin not only to broadcast and display, but listen. these screens could be incorporated in other facades throughout the commu-nity, essentially turning the by-water neighborhood into a truly communicative city

screenspeaking to industrial river ar-chitecture and attempting to communicate with its neighbors, wbyr's screen became the major design move. the formal, experi-ential, tecontic, and performance capabilities of a well designed rainscreen allowed the project to develop at a series of layers and scales.
80
81
initially just a wall com-municating to the scale of the river, the screen then was frag-mented and pulled apart. the focus on user partcipation pulled the screen throughout the build-ing into inhabitable spaces. con-versely, the screen also exploded out proliferating throughout the bywater neighborhood.screen pulled through building
82

formally, screen variations were also investigated. verbs like wrapping, splitting, and twisting could accompany communicat-ing. eventually however, a lack of clarity returned the screen to its near oiginal parti.
83
developing the performance characteristics of the screen al-lowed it to anchor. an initial study was done to map out ma-jor areas of glazing responding to climate and views. a second iteration reduced that study into strips referring to the vernacular clapboard siding found on most shotgun houses. finally a third variation alligned break points with a curtain wall system and incorporated the led's as an op-erable sunshade further helping reduce solar gain.

colorcolor as spatial determinant. re-searching sauerbrauch and hut-ton's ideas of color not only as an emotional or pictorial element, but also a spatial one allowed the image of wbyr to finalize. color would move the screen away from imaging through led's and allow the interplay of material, light, and color within a wall system to create the experience of wbyr./

the specled fenestration dia-grams naturally resmebled the old equalizers often found in radio station's providing an excellent precedent for a color scheme. just as when volume increases, the capacity for communicat-ing with wbyr is also registered on the facade as one nears the corner and production station.
the complete polychrome regis-tered as random so study models were made to explore the layer-ing of simple primary colors, and their mixture with light, to see if other variations could be gener-ated.

walla shift in scale led the devel-opments guiding the screen to help shape the developments of the walls system. 1/4" wall sec-tions and assembly drawings were done to grasp issues like flashing, moisture barriers, and the overall performance of a wall system. by researching manufacturer's guide-lines and other details the project could begin to take on a sense of tactility.
92
93
the rain screen system promoted a double skin facade, operability and controlled views and glazing would help the system respond climatically. a 3d wall section model was created to physically construct the wall from founda-tion to roof.

product research allowed the project to take on a sense of realness. 3 form xt resin pan-els were researched as means of achieving the colored opaque and transparent rainscreen. details obtained from the mainufacturer were used for aid in assembly
97
likewise a curtainwall system was chosen. tubelite's cvw 3700 cur-tain wall system was chosen be-cause of its emphasis on oper-ability as well as capacity to hold hurricane resistant glass. glazing dimensions and flashing details were also used.

a 1/4" wall section model was built to finalize ideas about construction. the color pal-atte was reduced to enclude only warm colors as the over-all gradient became muddled.the model is cut to show two sides of the main entry lobby. lights were integrated in the rear of the strucutral frame to display the interplay between panels as well as allude to the potential varia-tions in color with differing light levels.
