URBANbuild: local/ global Ila Berman

This book documents the work of URBANbuild, a comprehensive two-year program at Tulane University School of Architecture initiated by its founding director Ila Berman to actively support the rehabilitation of the city of New Orleans in the aftermath of the storm of August 2005. URBANbuild local_global is quite literally a double-sided book that reconnects local research, analysis and design for New Orleans with a broader global framework that embraces knowledge and experience drawn from comparable world water cities.
