MCC4





This project was for phase 4 of the convention center in New Orleans. This was a collaberation of sorts between the firm I was with, Sizeler Architects and TVS in Atlanta.

My role in this was primarily coordination and management of documentation. It was an exciting time because the project involved so many people, so many firms and always so little time. We brought the poroject in well under the budget but it subsequently went into litigation with contractors protesting the bids. The project was finally formally droppped after Hurricane Katrina.

The project site was approviximately 15 acres with 1.75 million square feet contained in the building. The exihibit hall was 11 acres. It was determined that the footprint of the Super Dome could be contained in the exhibit hall.

Shaw Center in Baton Rouge

This project was designed and executed bythe firm I am employed with, Eskew + Dumez+ Ripple and Schwartz/ Silber. It is really a beautiful project and my uncle Paulo currently has an art exhibit in the building. The roof terrace makes Baton Rouge downtown attractive from both view and vista. The building won an AIA Design Award at the 2008 Conference in Boston.

This is one of the recent renderings of a project for the 911 Call Center for Orleans Parish. After working with a building program that was affected by lowered post Katrina population levels, the project was revised in 2007.

World Trade Center Memorial Competition Submittal



Dufour team submittal for WTC Memorial
















In 2003, our team was formed to submit this conceptual design for the World Trade Center Memorial Competition.

The concept is probably the strongest piece of this presentation, being that it was based on Elisabeth Kubler Ross psychology text "On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss".
