Bossier City and the Red River share a bond intertwined through time and geography. The river’s shimmering waters have supported the city’s growth, providing a lifeline for commerce and transportation. Bossier City, in turn, has embraced the river, thriving on its banks as a bustling center of entertainment and hospitality, from the glittering lights of riverboat casinos to the vibrant streets. Bossier City and the Red River form a harmonious union, their destinies entwined in the very fabric of Louisiana’s vibrant landscape. This connection is why the curved topography of the river is the main inspiration for this project.

The project draws inspiration from Bossier City’s strong connection with the Red River and Barksdale Air Force Base. The city is situated on the banks of the Red River, which not only provides scenic beauty but also serves as a vital waterway for transportation and commerce. Additionally, Bossier proudly hosts Barksdale Air Force Base, serving as headquarters for the Eighth Air Force and the 2nd Bomb Wing and housing the formidable B-52 bombers. Barksdale Air Force Base plays a pivotal role in national defense while also making significant contributions to the local economy and fostering a sense of community.
