Mary Elizabeth Buchner

Bachelor of Architecture ’20

CAPLA Student Ambassador

Home Town
Little Rock, Arkansas

Capstone Project
Time Out New Orleans

 

Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard is surrounded by a neighborhood recovering from economic suppression. In a recovering neighborhood like Central City, the urban environmental concerns focus on affordable space. Time Out New Orleans solves this problem with a mixed-use structure, that includes affordable retail space and housing units. The decision to introduce mixed-use development is a practical approach to modern day Main Street USA. This project was designed with the intention to improve the connectivity of the existing neighborhood with market commerce and housing. Time Out New Orleans proposes a practical approach to challenging the urban environment.
