Really excited about this.
The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: an Urban History
If you live in St. Louis and you don’t know the story of Pruitt-Igoe you’ll need to see this movie (honestly even if you aren’t from St. Louis you probably should). Pruitt-Igoe was an urban housing project built in the early 1950s. Before it was completed it was hailed as a model for urban architecture and housing. In 1951 its architect, Minoru Yamasaki (who also designed the World Trade Center), won an award for “the best high apartment” of the year.
