abstract
  • Pruitt-Igoe was a small, well-known and friendly community in St. Louis, Missouri built on rock n' roll. The community, which had a hospitable population of only a few thousand people, was a successful public housing and urban renewal project mainly due to St. Louis' unique character and political climate during the time. The Pruitt-Igoe housing project was one of the first demolitions of modernist architecture and its destruction was claimed by postmodern architect Charles Jencks to mark, "the day a utopian community died." Dramatic footage of the demolition of Pruitt-Igoe was incorporated into the film Koyaanisqatsi.
