Eco Pavilion Sustainable Exhibition
The Tulane City Center and New Orleans’ City Park are working together on an Eco Pavilion to showcase environmentally sensitive building strategies and technologies. Under the guidance of Architect Coleman Coker the TCC team is building the pavilion for the Fall Home and Garden Show, 2008. City Park’s Botanical Garden will use the Green Pavilion to provide the public with a full scale educational model of how sustainable technologies can employed.
The Pavilion includes a rainwater catching roof, indigenous plants, salvaged materials, and rainwater filtration systems. The intention of this approachable and informative exhibition is to make these alternative building methods accessible to the public in the hope that individuals might choose to rebuild their homes and gardens in a more sustainable way. The Eco Pavilion is one project in a larger ongoing partnership between City Park and the TCC.
