What I don’t like about this reading is how the Pruitt Igoe was instantly seen as a failure and a ‘death of modernism’ and was given up on, there must have been a way to rebuild or try and save the failure of the project. A lot of blame was on the architects which I agree is a big part however there are other people involved as well, the problem lied with the site and surely this could have been checked more thoroughly or the planning could try again in a different context. Although the reading does go on to say it has re-launched with more of a fresh look on a new site, which is exactly what the project needed, rather than forgetting about it completely.
