Paper details:1. Summarize the (key) structures described in the book “Devil in the White City.” Summarize the:
– Location of structure(s)
– Time period of construction, performance
– Approx. cost
– Materials of construction
(Those should be given in a table)
2. Summarize the functional characteristics of the structures (their technical function, what they are for, how they were made, the construction process) described in the book. What, if anything, does this process tell you about advances in technology over the time period covered?
3. Summarize the cultural implications of these structures. In particular, try to use these four cases to make the argument that the cultural impact of an addition or subtraction from the built environment is (is not) related to the COST of that project.
4. Summarize the sustainability of these structures. Are any of them more environmentally benign? Did any improve their environments? Did they improve the social systems in which they operated?
5. Consider the impact of the passage of time on our ability to build meaningful and important projects. The four cases that you are considering cover a very wide range in time. Over that time, has our ability to conduct projects changed? Are there things we do better now? Worse? Has our acceptance of the built environment or our understanding of how it is provided changed? Use these four cases to provide SPECIFIC arguments, and bolster as you see needed with additional research on other projects.

A book report might be useful; however, the assigned book report should NOT be a completion of the one attached.
