A program of NOMA Louisiana Project Pipeline. These are 1-day intensive learning experiences and network-building opportunities for students from grade 7 through graduate school.
The first annual Project Pipeline Field Trip took place August 4, 2021. This Field Trip included a tour of architecture firm EskewDumezRipple+, museum visit and building construction tour hosted by the Leona Tate Foundation for Change in the Lower Ninth Ward, and activities at the House on Claiborne’s Garden of Youth Development.
The second annual Project Pipeline Field Trip took place August 3, 2022. The group visited AOS Interior Environments’ showroom, a site visit to a former firehouse under redevelopment in Central City, and returned to the House on Claiborne’s Garden of Youth Development.
NOMA Louisiana is grateful for the support of the Small Center for Collaborative Design at the Tulane School of Architecture in generating this program and providing a meeting location; to Professor Marianne Desmarais of TSA for donating arcblocs; to the Collaborative Design Workshop for resources and capacity; and to our friends at EskewDumezRipple+, AOS Interior Environments, Manning Architects, Alembic Community Development, the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority, the Leona Tate Foundation for Change, and the House on Claiborne for hosting us in their wonderful spaces.
