Esta tarde en la ETSAG dentro de la Semana de la Arquitectura de Alcalá se proyectará "The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: an Urban History". Dentro de la revisión sobre determinados mitos de la ciudad contemporánea, que en la actualidad se están realizando, hablar del final de la "suburbia" como mito implica, no solo de la ciudad dispersa, sino de sus complementarios y por tanto también hablar sobre mitos destruidos como el derribo de Pruitt-Igoe en Missouri.

"And yet, despite this complex history, Pruitt-Igoe has often been stereotyped. The world-famous image of its implosion has 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."

Below the trailer for the documentary film "The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: an Urban History".

El aforo es limitado. Pero si eres estudiante de la ETSAG no te lo puedes perder.
