Here’s a site-plan for the
Wendell O. Pruitt Apartments, and
William Igoe Homes. We had it scanned it from a copy at the
St. Louis Housing Authority.
If you want to get the full effect, you’ll have to head over to its
Flickr page, where you can view it at its
original size.
I’ve always had a fascination with maps, and my academic training is as a cartographer, but despite their similarities, I’ll have to own up to not knowing my way around blueprints or architectural/surveying documents in any meaningful way. I’m sure that several people who read this are quite familiar with the idiom. If you’d like to point out any interesting features you find, I’d love for you to drop me an
email.
Important to note this was a PROPOSED site plan dated 1964, ostensibly to rectify the problems then apparent with the built design.
