I started the development of the Point Cadet North site by looking at the surrounding neighborhood and areas to analyse cir-culation, commerce, and residential zones. The project includes low rise commercial that wraps around a central courtyard which then flows into a large community park. The shoreline is developed with a boardwalk and small kiosk style buildings.

Connecting Cadet Point
Tulane Regional Urban Design Center
The design started by looking at how people would enter the site. From these points the paths on the site were created. A focus was placed on connecting the south side of Cadet Point to the fishing pier, casino, and new shrimping pier. The paths become boardwalks across a marshy area in front of the plaza. Paths also started where roads were removed and one forms into the shrimping pier. By removing the existing road it became easier to work with and change the shoreline.
The program for the project is placed to create a enclosed central park that is focused away from the highway (I-10) to the south. The goal was to move people away from the highway and then allow them to focus out on the water.
On the site a shrimping museum that opens onto an extensive plaza that provides access down into the water. is at the center. Along the street edge retail space is provided. A restaurant with a second floor dining deck focused out to sea is closest to the museum. Across the lawn is a major retail anchor store and a music venue that could hold crowds on the open ground.
The design seeks to create an urban street edge with an open aired park on the other side, reacting to both the need for commercial and recreational space.

Biloxi has a rich gambling and tourism history, that has the potential to become greater. The coastline can become as de-veloped and trafficed as similar destinations like Las Vegas, but Biloxi has an landscape like no other. My proposal tries to interlace aspirations of economic growth with regional ecological practices. By looking at contemporary Chinese urban vil-lages with innovative landscaping methods, Point Cadet can be a thriving, sustinable hub in a recovering community.

Point Cadet Waterfront Park
Tulane Regional Urban Design CenterTulane Regional Urban Design Center
This project proposes something quieter and less intensive than the typical development scheme.As such, the project aims to stand in contrast to the gaming district that surrounds the site.
The project is a boat launch.It also calls for rebuilding a popular hanger for use during community events and the addition of an outfitters, a fuel dock, a bait and tackle shop, and a gas station as well as parkland, a boardwalk, and an elevated peristyle but all of these are to support and enhance the core experience of simply arriving in the pre-dawn light, backing your boat in, and departing.The park is a simple utility.
It is a celebration of unpretentious living; a peculiar sort of waterfront domesticity I recall disjointedly from my own youth.

Restoring an Urban Landscape
Tulane Regional Urban Design Center
The new urban plan for point cadet is focused on the pedestrian walkway and pier. A continuous and fluid circulation plan will provide the user alternate ways to view, experience, and access the piers all from the same path. Returned green space will make up most of the site in an effort to take away from the hard surfaced commercial area and noisy interstate that intersects the site. A return to nature in this area will provide a park like environment in a busy urban setting. The existing maritime museum serves as an educational opportunity for children and adults to gain a perspective on how the gulf coast has sustained life for many years. The topography of the land tappers off towards the water and is lowest at the southern most tip. As a process of bio-remediation, the new landscape will filter all water that is presented to the site as well as run-off from the streets and highway. Cleansing this water before it is returned to the gulf will ensure a positive future for the maritime and seafood industry of the Gulf Coast.

Looking at Biloxi, MS it is easy to see how the resort and casino industries have taken over what was once a small com-munity town centered around the Air Force base. The site that lies as the entrance into this town the design is made to bring the community back into the site. By creating local industry such as small town shops; creamery, sewing shop, tackle and bait shop, the community is given the opportunity to have an escape of their own. While some may argue that the small town aspect may deter the tourism that is already in place, the design also plays to the strength of tourism. On almost all vaca-tions the fast pace atmosphere becomes too draining for a long period of time and the design of a small town main street on the site allows for that slower pace that the already in place tourist can visit for a slower pace.
Site MapThe circles show the main stops along US-90 going through the site.

Tourism- Looking at Magazine Street in New Orleans, LA as a way for the small town feel to bring tourism to the site.Local Revenue- Main Street America allows the idea of bringing in local stores to bring back revenue to the community.Community- Kitchen Kettle Village, Intercourse, PA, a cluster of smaller shops that the community can partake in.

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe project realizes the disjunction between the north and south sides of Point Cadet and attempts to bridge the gap by use of a programmed landscape. In doing so, the identity of Biloxi will grow beyond a glorified casino cor-ridor and hold an identity that is visually accessible to traffic passing on the 90 freeway. Located along the edge of the natural city perimeter, the new “welcome” sign will be in an optimal position to raise standards of living for local dwellers and act as a precedent for future greenspace/structure developments.
Soft space transitions into hard space via delicately negotiated triangulated slopes, seatings pods, and circulation voids that drop into the programmed structures underneath. While the north end of the site contains the primary commercial amenities of the project, the morphing landscape grows out of the box, passes under the freeway, and rises again to form the secondary commercial zone on the southern end of the site. Compositionally the project will display a process of natural growth that will become more and more evident through construction phasing.

Understanding the site from a large scale is necessary in order to make crucial decisions at a small scale. Point Cadet connects the commercial fabric of Biloxi and a residential grid and is responsible for mediating the rela-tionship between the two.

Soft space transitions into hard space via delicately negotiated triangulated slopes, seatings pods, and circulation voids that drop into the programmed structures underneath. While the north end of the site contains the primary commercial amenities of the project, the morphing landscape grows out of the box, passes under the freeway, and rises again to form the secondary commercial zone on the southern end of the site. Compositionally the project will display a process of natural growth that will become more and more evident through construction phasing.

PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe project realizes the disjunction between the north and south sides of Point Cadet and attempts to bridge the gap by use of a programmed landscape. In doing so, the identity of Biloxi will grow beyond a glorified casino cor-ridor and hold an identity that is visually accessible to traffic passing on the 90 freeway. Located along the edge of the natural city perimeter, the new “welcome” sign will be in an optimal position to raise standards of living for local dwellers and act as a precedent for future greenspace/structure developments.

Circulation of program is defined and aims to address the visitors agenda. Whether it be a morn-ing run through the park, a day of shopping, or an evening on the restaurant level of the pier, the placement of structure must consider the reality of access.

Point Cadet: A New Cove
Tulane Regional Urban Design CenterTulane Regional Urban Design Center
Recent catastrophic events have called for a revision of the relationship between the water’s edge and development within Point Cadet. Future proposals for the Gulf region must not only capture a spirit of the past, but also introduce a new means of living with the environment rather than upon or against it. While many casinos in the region are located on the water, and some commercial zoning as well, the approach is that of imposing rather than embracing. This proposal seeks to create a new system of living upon the water and creating a cove or boardwalk condition. The proposal contains both commercial and residential units located on the water, similar to early Creole settlements in Lake Pontchartrain. The creation of a U-like boardwalk seeks to promote a frontage to the water and gateway to the city, while still accommodating a serene moment of tranquility within the cove. Recognizing the historic nature of the city, small scale of development was proposed instead of large scale commercial or residential. The importance of restoring a sense of place in the site was a key tenet of this proposal.

A Site Divided
Tulane Regional Urban Design CenterTulane Regional Urban Design Center
Looking at Biloxi, MS and its surrounding areas, it is easy for one to see how this small city can have both the small com-munity feeling while still having a bigger city draw from its resort and casino industry. This duality can most easily be seen by the juxtaposition of the large casino buildings along the coast and the small neighborhoods on the nothern side of U.S. 90.
Seeking to draw from this duality, this proposal is divided along U.S. 90 to separate it into residential and commercial halves. The northern half of the site is dedicated to the community with a community garden being planned with the already planned museum. The southern half of the site is dedicated to commercial industry. A string of buildings parallel the coast providing commercial shopping and eating opportunities on the second floor and residential floors above with parking for those resi-dents on the ground floor. Acting as a buffer for this commercial building is a large public park area on the inside of the site.
Linking both halves of the site is a long active circulation path that hugs the coast and connects to the water through a tiered sea wall. This narrower path encourages movement along the edge of the site and provides areas for running and biking along the coast.

The site is programmed with a boardwalk and low density commercial area along the water’s edge. Bordering this is the com-munity garden, which provides a green separation between the boardwalk and a residential block across the road, which wraps around a green courtyard. In the community garden are small-scale structures for restaurants and additional small businesses.
A series of walkways provide access to the different areas of the site. On the opposite page, the three zones of the site are shown: residential, business, and the waterfront area. These three zones are kept in the final design, with the planning of a resi-dential block (residential), low density commercial (business), and boardwalk area (waterfront).

The development is designed to grow with the budget and is intended with at first a minimal parkspace and board-walk idea in order to connect the marina space at the south end with a proposed hangar at the north end of the site. Once traffic is attracted to the space, commercial development can then be implemented with a promenade type strip, which if successful can later be expanded. The first phase is for the residents of Biloxi, and the second will also hopefully open it up to tourists as well.

By identifying severl nodes along this connecting boardwalk where the path itself fluctuates, we are able to give visitors several destinations along the way including the city’s new Seafood Industy Museum. Hopefully by leaving the rest of the space open with jogging paths and trees on the south side, and a community garden to the north, I hope to give them an oasis from city life itself.

Phase 2 is when commercial development begins to get brought into the site. First is the addition of the two-storey mixed use development as well as an extension to the marina and addition of a pier for tourists as well as local fishermen and families. It also brings with it much needed additional parkign on the bottom level.

Biloxi Bend
Tulane Regional Urban Design CenterTulane Regional Urban Design Center
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONBiloxi Bend focuses development on the underutilized yet a highly valuable portion of the Biloxi coastline. In order to promote outdoor activities along the coastline, a snaking pathway is designed to travel from the southern docking port to the northern casinos. This proposal provides a visually simple and economically modest development that benefits both local inhabitants and tourists alike.
WHY DOES THE PATHWAY SNAKE?The path’s bending allows for the addition of parks, a longer exercise pathway, and the introduction of splash steps along one continuous route.

Point Cadet Recovery
Tulane Regional Urban Design CenterTulane Regional Urban Design Center
Establish a wetland to recover the land along the coast. With paths and associated educational oppurtunities (Seafood Mu-seum, Shrimping Pier, Communtiy Garden), the coast would become a hub for families, as well as a beacon for joggers and naturalists. Further development would begin at the periphery (restaurants, shops, condos).
The Point is a prime location for a “gateway” because of its location near the Highway 90 bridge connection to Ocean Springs. A public square framed by high rises would provide the necessary monumentality and begin to create a sense of place in Biloxi.
