Organized by editors of Architectural Record and administered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Pavilion at the 10th International Venice Architecture Biennale will feature the exhibition After the Flood: Building on Higher Ground.

The exhibition presents innovative architectural proposals for rebuilding New Orleans and the U.S. Gulf Coast in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, including winning designs of an international design competition organized by Architectural Record and the Tulane School of architecture.

Also included will be a film by Neil Alexander and photographs by Michael Goodman. A section titled "What Next," organized by Tulane, will present several initiatives for New Orleans, including a waterfront development designed by Tulane, a major downtown complex designed by the firm Morphosis, and entries from a competition run by Global Green USA and Brad Pitt to find sustainable design solutions for the rebuilding of New Orleans.
