Destination Sud: Haiti

As part of the Côte Sud Initiative (CSI)1 , a multi-institutional, multi-sectorial research and development initiative in the Côte Sud (South Coast) region of Haiti, the Urban Design Lab was tasked with investigating the current push for tourism development in the region. Included in this work has been the involvement of a Spring 2012 Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation Urban Design seminar that studied how the proposed construction of a visitor center might be spatially-conceptualized and effectively coupled with ongoing research and aid initiatives in the region.
