Blogs

Over the two years since our launch, it’s become clear we have three very distinct audiences tracking Make It Right’s progress: architects and designers, people interested in green building and technology and people who want to be updated on New Orleans’ recovery and the rebuilding of the Lower 9th Ward. These blogs are intended to give you the opportunity to drill deeper, ask questions, engage our experts and offer your own opinions. Please, take the time to talk with us.

Our Architecture and Design Blog features discussions with architects and developers working on the Make It Right project from around the world. Click here to view the Architecture and Design Blog

Our Green Technology topics and discussions focus on some of the most ground breaking innovations in the industry. Click here to view the Green Technology Blog
