In 2005, Hurricane Katrina transformed the Lower Garden District of New Orleans, Louisiana (NOLA) from a vibrant, eclectic community into a blighted, desolate no-man’s land. A group of students from Washington University discovered that a new chicken coop for the Sixth Street Baptist Church was a great design opportunity to stimulate the community and create positive change in the community. Who would have thought that a small but well designed building for chickens would create such a positive impact on a devastated community struggling to rebuild itself?
