In celebration of AIA Dallas’ Home Tour, we’ll screen two films about housing in America: the short film, American Homes, and the documentary The Pruitt-Igoe Myth.

American Homes is a brief animated history of residential architecture in America unfolds while notable figures in the world of design and architecture weigh in on what a house is and can be.

The Pruitt-Igoe Myth looks at the important issue of community housing. Once a sign of hope for the underprivileged, the Pruitt-Igoe housing complex in St. Louis fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished. In this documentary, archival footage and interviews shed light on the legacy and meaning of the project.

We will begin the evening with a reception and light refreshments, followed by the screening at 6:30 p.m. As always, we'll stick around for a few minutes afterwards for a discussion of the film.

$10 donation requested at the door. To RSVP, send e-mail to info@DallasCFA.com.
