New Orleans
New Orleans
New Orleans, like Venice, is built in a location that at first sight seems curious in the extreme. How could it be that these cities,
built so precariously in the face of a watery threat, were to become among the great cities of the world? How could a site below
sea level, at a swampy curve in the River Mississippi become one of the most visited cities in the United States, and possess
a unique kind of magic that separates it from other cities? Geoffrey H. Baker's gem of an architectural guide answers these
burning questions. Inside these richly illustrated pages he explains how the urban design works for this city's plight, which is
frequently handicapped by nature's capacity to destroy in the form of hurricanes
