FILM: EVENT PART 2-19:30 THE PRUITT IGOE MYTH -IRISH PREMIERE


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. 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 rumours and the stigma. To implode the myth. 

“Compelling, exceptional. It correctly finds value in preserving this disappearing American experience on film and should serve as a prototype for similar efforts of cultural preservation.” – 

Dante A. Ciampaglia, Architectural Record

An exhibition of photographs by John Donat of Robin Walker’s architecture will open at UCD Richview on Monday next, October 24, 2011, as part of the centenary of the School of Architecture at UCD. There will also be an associated DOCOMOMO lecture by Simon Walker, architect and son of Robin, in the Red Room at 6.30pm on Monday. For those of you who missed Simon’s brilliant talk earlier in the year, on the occasion of the Heroes and Anti-Heroes of Modern Architecture symposium, organised in the context of IMMA’s The Moderns exhibition, this offers the perfect opportunity to catch up on one of the founders of Scott Tallon Walker who worked with Le Corbusier and studied under Mies van der Rohe and Ludwig Hilberseimer and was among the greatest figures in Irish 20th-century architecture.
