••• New Orleans' Authority for Architecture •••

New Orleans is a visual feast of architectural cultures, styles and influences begging to be discovered. The city boasts a unique atmosphere that cherishes architectural roots while celebrating life in the midst of national treasures.

Explore New Orleans architecture from 1700 to the present with this easily navigable App, authored by the New Orleans Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. This survey of architecture picks the best architecture from the establishment of the trading fort on the Mississippi river to innovative structures built after Hurricane Katrina passed over New Orleans in 2005 and the Federal levees failed, flooding more than 80% of the city.

This app includes multiple sorting features including eras of construction, neighborhoods, and building types. Or, just find out what is nearby with the GPS-enabled mapping features.
