Notable Jewish Architects in New Orleans History – Part 2

Join us as architect Louis Kong explores Moise Goldstein’s legacy and the iconic designs that shaped New Orleans' culture and cityscape.

Temple Sinai, 6227 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans

Continuing this fall’s lecture series on the Jewish architects who shaped the built environment of New Orleans, architect Louis Kong turns to Moise Goldstein, whose buildings still define the city’s architectural identity. Going beyond biography, Kong treats architecture as artistic and cultural expression, reading Goldstein’s buildings for his design philosophy, creative intentions, and the social world he worked in, and showing how these structures continue to shape the city’s landscape and daily life today.

Co-hosted by the Tulane University's Department of Jewish Studies and Temple Sinai.
