Waggonner & Ball is a mid-sized architecture and environment firm based in New Orleans, Louisiana, established in 1970. The practice treats architecture as a means to understand place, integrating climate realities into design across scales—from buildings to landscapes and from cities to watersheds. Its work spans continents and cities, with projects in New Orleans, Norfolk, Beijing, and Jakarta, drawing on local specifics while addressing global forces such as climate change and advancing technologies. The firm relies on a workshop-based, collaborative design process and maintains a broad network of design and engineering partners to produce plans that are ambitious, detailed, and actionable. In January 2023, Moffatt & Nichol announced its acquisition of Waggonner & Ball, marking a notable development in the firm's corporate status.
