CICADA’s Post

Have y’all heard the buzz?! It’s been tough to keep our ongoing work on The Batture a secret for the past two years, but we couldn’t be more excited to share with you all now that the project has been made public. As part of our preliminary work on The Batture, CICADA was tasked with compiling a document exploring New Orleans’ rich history of living on the Mississippi River and analyzing how the public connection with the river has evolved over time. This research served as a foundation for our planning and design of the Batture, grounding the future work in the history of the immediate site, the river and levee systems along with vernacular building strategies that have stood the test of time.
