The exhibit "Proud to Call It Home" at the Louisiana Children's Museum focuses on New Orleans construction and architecture and the different types of built structures in the city, including residential bank owned properties in New Orleans. The event is getting a test drive through a series of instructions offered to children related to the city's built environment.
As Louisiana bank owned homes and foreclosed properties become quite common in the state, local authorities exert more efforts to educate children about their city's built environment and the nature of home building. In the exhibit primer, both children and adults will be provided with a chance to learn all about construction, planning and architecture.
According to the exhibit's organizers, the event will be fun and will focus on the depth and history of New Orleans architecture. The exhibit was first conceived in 2003 and fund raising started in 2004. However, the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina prevented the exhibit from being completed until now.
The museum coordinated with architects and contractors to develop a theme for the exhibit. It was later agreed that the event will focus on construction, planning and design and will also allow children to learn basic lessons on home construction and different types of structures, including bank owned properties in New Orleans and other residential buildings. Organizers have stated that the show will help children understand what really happens when a house is built.
The primer does not only cover modern architecture, current home designs and bank owned properties, but will also focus on historic buildings found in the city. The lessons are meant to teach kids to appreciate and respect historic architecture that they see in their neighborhoods. Museum officials have added that although the event is targeting children aged four to eight, it is also suitable to older kids and adults.
With foreclosures and bank owned properties in New Orleans continuing to increase in number, the exhibit is being seen as a way for children to be made aware of the structures around them and to learn to appreciate how these structures came into being.
