EskewDumezRipple

EskewDumezRipple provides architecture, interiors, and planning with a presence in New Orleans and other United States cities. Its practice connects buildings and community through attention to people, place, and project-related research. The relationship between program, layout, and context is central when considering services of this kind: spatial decisions need to respond to planned activities, site characteristics, and the needs of people using the facilities.

Its portfolio includes theaters, museums, libraries, and university residences. Tulane, Georgia Tech, and Bruce Museum references support exploration of cultural and educational programs and new spaces within existing institutional contexts. Reviewing references by program and context helps identify which aspects of the practice can respond to the priorities of a particular assignment and its intended users.

Reviewing the portfolio offers a starting point for connecting references with the needs of an assignment. Before establishing scope, it is useful to describe users, proposed spaces, and property constraints, distinguishing conceptual decisions from later stages of documentation and the technical coordination required for delivery.
