In addition, if you would like to include some extra credit into your final assignment, add a illustrated and written critique of a proposed or recent project within your research neighborhood (los Angeles). Use one or more of the various theories discussed in class as the basis for your critique - for example, you may suggest that the project appropriately adheres to City Beautiful ideals because the design locates the main entrance at the terminus of in important street or view corridor to a distant landmark (such as City Hall or the Hollywood sign); or you may praise the project because it offers a small open space / plaza / park in an area deficient in parks per Clarence Perry's Neighborhood Unit diagram; alternatively you may criticize the project because it does not do those things.
