THE PRUIT IGOE MYTH (2011)

The infamous demolition of these housing blocks, only 20 years after completion, was seen by many to represent the death of Modern Architecture. The idealistic principles behind the project had by then given way to squalor, extreme violence, and chaos - for reasons which, in reality, went well beyond design - into management, maintenance and systemic racism. This film is a worthwhile watch as a cultural and historical document, but also as a reminder of the long-term complexity of creating successful places, and the naiveté (or arrogance) of believing they can be achieved by an architectural vision alone. 

As Urban Historian Robert Fishman says, “Housing alone could not deal with the most basic issues that were troubling the American city. There was just no way to build your way out of that tragedy. We have a responsibility to understand those failures, and to learn from them and try to do better.” That, of course, isn’t to say we shouldn’t try to do as much as we can through architecture and planning, just that we need to be aware of how those design interventions will work, long-term, within a larger context.
