The Pruitt-Igoe Myth tells the story of the transformation of the American city in the decades after World War II, through the lens of the infamous Pruitt-Igoe housing development and the St. Louis residents who called it home. It began as a housing marvel. Built in 1956, Pruitt-Igoe was heralded as the model public housing project of the future, "the poor man's penthouse." Two decades later, it ended in rubble - its razing an iconic event that the architectural theorist Charles Jencks famously called the death of modernism. The footage and images of its implosion have helped to perpetuate a myth of failure, a failure that has been used to critique Modernist architecture, attack public assistance programs, and stigmatize public housing residents. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth seeks to set the historical record straight. To examine the interests involved in Pruitt-Igoe's creation. To re-evaluate the rumors and the stigma. To implode the myth.
I just love that quote, "One day we woke up and it was all gone."
This wasn't "modern architecture", this was transferring slums into high-rises.
It was a human farm
Or, it was turning high-rises into slums through neglect, a people forgotten by their government.
@@kdkseven 👏🏻
@@kdkseven What do you mean? That the government is supposed to take care of people? Clean up the graffiti and urine in the stairwells? Those windows didn't break themselves.
@@kassandra1071 Oh Kassandra😮
I just watched the documentary and the residents perspective is really poignant. But at the same time,they had to be really bad for them to be demolished in the early 1970s.
So THAT'S how you pronounce "Pruitt Igoe" (been listening to the Philip Glass track for over a decade now)
My grandad put the steam boiler and piping in Pruitt Igoe, It was a great place - until the white flight and with the white flight the federal funding to maintain Pruitt Igoe went with it
@@cliffpinchon2832 If you build a complex but don't make any arrangements to fund its upkeep: what do you expect is going to happen?
Don't blame this on White people
@@joebiggs135 facts you can’t put a bunch of residents in high dense populated apartment who are poor and struggle with mental health . That’s recipe for disaster and besides men weren’t allowed to live there
@@joebiggs135 it was an experiment from white people to tear apart black familys
All too common
Ungrateful residents did what they do best.. vandalize and destroy what was provided at taxpayer's expense.
Sad. We have struggled a lot.
Okay we know what the problem was. It's over. We can honor them by doing better. Straight up cuzz!
Where is the doc I can’t find it anywhere??
hendersoncnc you can find it on Kanopy. If you are a university staff member or student the membership is free.
You can rent on Vimeo
Amazon Prime video

Dónde lo puedo ver?
i watched this on netflix. amazing how wrong thing went. it was completely avoidable.
how so avoidable. i felt it was destined to collapse
@@1945joshuaruiz watch the docu. it wasn't "destined" at all, it was deliberately strangled as a result of policy and macroeconomic decisions that human beings with agency make. working class people have a political choice to make a more humane life possible, but the ruling class also makes its own choices based on its material interests.
@@janosmarothy5409 In a nutshell: It was sabotaged!
Is it still on nexflix
@@taiterobinson793 My question exactly, I don't think it is because I can not find it.
what is the music around 1:53?
Elephiant it’s called “they blew it down” by Benjamin Balcom. It’s on Spotify. :)
Where can I find this documentary? Haven't been able o find on any streaming platforms
Pruitt Igoe could’ve been different RIP 1954-72
Nothing about these buildings was inviting or bright. They looked like jailhouses from the jump. The human brain subconsciously makes the connection between these buildings and prisons
Well if you want more you can have to spend more
d33p d!kn lmao what? You people are weird
No, nope, not once did I look at these buildings and think prison. Terrible attempt at pop psychology
The same construction companies and architectural firms built buildings that are almost identical and the residents didn't turn them into slums. It's not architecture. The maintenance problems in these buildings were overwhelming because the tenants kept them so badly. There are all types of working class and poor people living in cheap housing in the US and their homes and pipes aren't breaking down. The cages that went up on public housing around the United States are there because the tenants themselves were throwing trash off the roofs and throwing appliances on police officers on the buildings. The elevators smelled like piss because tenants were pissing in them.
Mia Mia: bullshit. It went to hell because of the ungrateful destructive primitive tenants. They destroyed it themselves.
found the doll: 2:20 , thank you and cheers
What’s the story behind the doll, or what’s the big deal about finding it?
huh?
The secret message of the documentary is actually 'Peace'. You may consider it destruction.
so this doc isn't about the nuclear tests?
0:52... i beg to differ my good man. THAT experiment passed with flying color! ... but again, that would depend on what you believe the purpose of the experiment was.
Was it INTENTIONALLY created to tear apart the black family at its source. 1:32 ... what she describes at that time code... if we learned nothing from the years prior (segregation) we learned that if we had no one else, we had ourselves.
We can follow the chain of events after and see the exact same patterns all geared towards my initial assertion.
For people of color... this was devistating, for those responsible... this was NOT an economic failure or poor management, this went off better than planned. Again... listen to what she says at 1:32 and compare THAT to where we are today.
Cloward and Piven strategy ....
me neither
@new9876
Once upon a time, St. Louis decided to stick their poor people into Pruitt-Igoe, a brandnew shiny place build by the future WTC architect Minoru Yamasaki and everything was fine, until drugdealers took over and turn it into Arkham City without a Batman, so they moved everyone out and blew it up.
The story line dates back to the Korean war.
men were not allowed to live with their families I heard
