This weekend it will host the Super Bowl LIX, but in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Superdome became a shelter of last resort for nearly 30,000 residents, only to suffer catastrophic damage that left those seeking safety in dire conditions. This episode tells the story of this iconic structure's darkest chapter and its remarkable resurrection. We'll sit down with the architect, Trey Trahan, who was tasked with the challenge of not just repairing a damaged stadium, but reimagining it for an era of climate extremes. Learn how innovative engineering solutions transformed a symbol of tragedy into a beacon of hope, creating a stronger structure designed to protect New Orleans from future storms. This is more than a story about rebuilding a stadium – it's about a community's resilience and how architecture can help heal a city's wounds.
