2. NEW ORLEANS COLLEGE OF CULINARY ARTS MAY, 2012
A strong notion of economic growth and community rebirth in New
Orleans is underway. Around the site, the area is populated with many local
businesses and churches lining the street, community gardens, a boxing
gym and after-school activity centers.
New Orleans’ College of Culinary Arts pushes the use of steel through
a figural, structural steel-skinned tower, which plays an active role on the
stage of the site and rebirth of the area. It houses meditative space such as
lounges, classrooms and a two-story wine room. Its structure penetrates
though the single-story restaurant and serves the public at the street edge,
while the Culinary Arts School occupies the main six-story tower.

9. C ON C L U S IO N F R OM R ESEAR C H ENTITLED :
Digital Regression: Intuitive Practice
and the Future of Architecture (2011).
“Architecture has a long
history independent from computer
science; however, digital technology
has become imbedded into our
contemporary society at a global
scale. As a global society, our values
are also changing as the degree of
separation between computer aided
thinking and human thought comes
closer together. Digital technology
has the capacity to render what
were otherwise unattainable ideas
into fully realized solutions. Hand-
drawing and fast thinking allow for
a less fragmented creative process
compared to the slow thought
necessary to process computer
generated ideas quickly. Our
schools are teaching students to
rely upon slow thought technology
early during the design process.
Computers can process information
quickly but they cannot think
intuitively and I don’t believe there
is a substitution for a human’s
ability to create. New generations
of architects are being introduced
to complex thought-process
thinking via digital technology at an
increasingly early age. I wonder if
this introduction to computers will
enable students and practitioners
of architecture to design more Taking Nature By Force. 10”X4’Cast Glass,
intuitively in the future. My hope Salvaged Live Oak, and Steel.
is that students of architecture, and
the profession, do not reduce their
ability and responsibility to generate
ideas using their natural intuition.
They are the sources responsible
for the generation of ideas. Human
intuition continues to guide digital
technology and not vice versa.“
