As part of this class, you are asked to view a documentary film about an iconic piece of architecture that was constructed in the mid-20th century, the Pruitt-Igoe Housing Complex in St. Louis Missouri.
In addition to watching the documentary in its entirety, you must also read a scholarly article about the building by architectural historian Katherine Bristol prior to your viewing of the film.
You are asked to write a two-page (double-spaced, standard 1” margins on all sides) review of the documentary film that also considers its relationship to the scholarly article, which touches on the same topic.
This written review is assigned in lieu of the weekly reading response usually due in discussion section. This assignment is graded in the same manner as the rest of the discussion section assignments, although it is weighted more heavily as it requires more time.
