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.

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 intuitively in the future. Taking Nature By Force. 10”X4’Cast Glass,
My hope is that students of architecture, Salvaged Live Oak, and Steel.
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.“
