IN THIS WEEK’S FRIDAY5

Last week was World Photography Day, an annual celebration of the art, craft, science and history of photography. Images are powerful for storytelling and when it comes to architecture, they “guide us through the context and backstage of the moment, eternalizing the process.” ArchDaily takes readers on a journey from the first recorded image on paper from French inventor Joseph Nicephore Niepce through the techniques that developed in the 19th and 20th centuries, which led to the iconic images captured by Lewis Hine during construction of the Empire State building and later photographers Marcel Gautherot and Iwan Baan.

Work is underway on a three-year project that will transform the existing New Orleans Harrah’s Casino on the edge of the historic French Quarter. A brand-new 340-room luxury hotel will rise above a new “valet porte cochere” within the current footprint of the casino. The entire interior will be renovated and the casino-hotel will be rebranded as Caesar’s New Orleans. MillerClapperton will fabricate and install 22,400 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project.
