Eine Plattform für die Wissenschaft: Bauingenieurwesen, Architektur und Urbanistik
What is Pruitt-Igoe, now? Forty years after the cinematic blast of tower C-15, the site of the housing complex still lays fallow, labeled dystopian by postmodern architectural discourse and ignored by contemporary St. Louis politics. In June 2011, a non-profit agency launched an international ideas competition soliciting proposals for this site: Pruitt-Igoe Now. The submissions received and juried suggest what Pruitt-Igoe is, now, to a global community of designers—both literally, as they imagine the future of this allegedly failed utopian site and, unavoidably, metaphorically, as nearly every proposal advances a utopian framework of systems in which architecture takes a secondary or even tertiary role.
