The Center for Hybridity is a mixed used cultural center based in New Orleans. On an urban scale, the form connects the taller city buildings with the neighboring lower garden areas, while creating a pathway for New Orleans's Mardi Gras parade. The formal strategy is a series of masses and voids that host restaurant, theater, art, education, and artist residency programs. The semi-transparent metal façade unifies the larger masses of the six buildings.
