Seventh Ward Shade Pavilion
The Shade Pavilion provides a temporary gathering and socializing place while a permanent home is being constructed for the Porch Community Center, an organization committed to sustaining the multitude of cultures in New Orleans. Although located in a garden, the resource center serves its originally imagined function of providing rebuilding assistance through access to tools, information, and instruction in building repair. It also serves as a site for classes in gardening and as a new, highly visible location for neighborhood gatherings of all kinds. Intelligent construction systems, developed for prefabrication in Kansas are deployed in New Orleans as complete sections, and can be expanded upon.
