Inspired by Hurricane Katrina disaster, NOAH will be a solution to urban buildings in New Orleans
The Bitter memories of the past can indeed be valuable lessons for improving future.
It probably will happen in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, the great Hurricane Katrina devastated in 2005.
Now, a group of designers from Boston trying to rebuild New Orleans by making a tall building futuristic style that is claimed to be immune to attack a similar storm.
They have submitted a proposal to build a giant on the outskirts of the Mississippi River.
The building, named the New Orleans Habitat or abbreviated Arcology NOAH, it has a high 1.200ft (365.76 meters), with an area of 2,787,091.2 square meters and can accommodate up to 40 thousand inhabitants.
NOAH will provide various facilities owned by a city, including hotels, shops, casinos, and even schools. This building takes the form of a triangle because it is designed specifically to accept a minimal effect of the destructive force and could miss the brunt of the storm. (more…)
