Every month Richard Campanella talks to WWNO about his Cityscapes column for NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.
The author and Professor of Geography at the Tulane School of Architecture this month begins a series of columns on specific styles of New Orleans architecture. When talking about the term “Creole” in architecture, Campanella notes two distinct generations of New Orleans buildings: what he calls a "country Creole" style that dominated the French Quarter when the city was founded, and a "city Creole" style that replaced it as two fires burned much of the Quarter and the city itself moved toward more urban density.
