  • Blueprint of Houston Redesigned
    An Economic and Demographic Blueprint of Houston Redesigned Leah T. Poole West Briar Middle School A Dream Deferred What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? ~ Langston Hughes INTRODUCTION How did the Allen brothers’ dream encourage the beginning of the fourth largest city in the United States? When they were unable to secure the land they initially wanted to purchase for their township site, did they defer their dreams, or did they persevere and Houston exploded into the metropolis of today? The proposed theme of this unit is An Economic and Demographic Blueprint of Houston Redesigned. My unit will help teach students about the evolution of Houston, 1836 to present day. The scope of evolution will identify the Allen brothers’ quest for economic development, immigration, dwellings, construction materials, famous houses and buildings, and architects. After examining historical economic situations and why the dream of the Allen brothers was one that was thoughtfully planned out and executed for a variety reasons, students will be responsible for mapping out a redesigned Houston of the future. Will the government building still stay where it was built some 170 years ago, or will students see a need to relocate it? Students will complete a blueprint of Houston in 1836 as drawn by Gail Borden, using AutoCAD and the Sanborn maps. Middle school students will learn about the way Houston developed into a city (through articles and from various sources into the thriving metropolis) it has become today.

It is the most recent in a series of buildings and schemes designed in fashionable styles by well-known architects.
