Architecture in St. Louis
May 12th, 2008The Pulitzer’s architecture comes up a lot on this blog. It relates to pretty much everything we do - art, programming, everything that’s planned here has to keep the very specific architecture of our building in mind. It ranges from the logistics of a film night to the placement of art within an exhibition and everything in between.
Since it’s often on our minds here, it was nice to see a feature in the Post-Dispatch this weekend on the architecture of St. Louis as a whole. I’ve always loved driving through the city looking at buildings, but it was interesting to learn more about the specific history of those buildings. It also helped me connect the Pulitzer to the larger context of the history of St. Louis architecture. Take a look - there’s also an interactive timeline (which includes the Pulitzer!).
Wow…a blue-chip institution (according to ArtForum) built by a star-chitect! Now how to make those doors more accessible…
