Holy Cross design contest advances

Three architects with New Orleans ties are among six finalists announced today in a national competition to design environmentally friendly housing for the Katrina-ravaged Holy Cross neighborhood.

They are Kenneth Gowland and Steve Dumez, both of whom live and work in New Orleans, and New Orleans native Drew Lang, who practices in his hometown and in New York City.

The competition is sponsored by Global Green USA, a nonprofit environmental organization.
