A Pruit Igoe Proposal

This un-submitted competition entry questions THE “urban” redevelopment of the site for the Pruitt Igoe housing complex.  Here, rather than adding to the existing oversupply of building stock or increasing the demand on the city’s infrastructure this project proposes to leave the wilderness that currently exists untouched and install an elevated pathway that would connect to adjacent urban farms that will infill the area as the city continues to transition from its industrial age glory.
