• W1811334811 abstract "Rethinking Public Housing Robert Fishman In the history of urban design as it is currently taught, the story of the American low-rent public housing program can be neatly encompassed in a pair of images. On the left we would see, rising up, Le Corbusier’s 1925 Plan Voisin for Paris — that great shock image of twentieth-century urbanism, the ultimate urban-renewal project. The Plan Voisin not only called for the demolition of the historic core of Paris and its replacement by highrise towers-in- the-park, but it announced modernism’s ruthless attitude toward the past and its demand for a revolutionary rede- sign of the city. 1 On the right, we would see, crashing down, one of Minoru Yamasaki’s Pruitt-Igoe highrise public-housing towers in St. Louis, demolished in 1972 after they had become uninhabitable. With brute finality, the Pruitt-Igoe demolition seemed to mark both the bankruptcy of an important program of social transformation through modernist design, and, by implication, the return to tradi- tional patterns of urbanism. Charles Jencks used the precise hour of the first explosion to announce that “modern architecture died in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 15, 1972, at 9:32 p.m. …” 2 The contrast between the two images seems overpow- eringly convincing — but so too, in their day, did the contrast between the dark, claustrophobic slum and Le Corbusier’s light-filled Radiant City. Any such rhetoric of images can be dangerous, however and one need only con- sider how the current narrative of public housing’s demise is rarely complicated by images that might undermine or contradict it. Nevertheless, one does not have to look far to see, for example, how many modernist-era housing proj- ects were, in fact, modest, lowrise “garden-apartments.” Below: Le Corbusier, Plan Voisin (1925). Right: Destruction of Pruitt-Igoe Houses, St. Louis. Images from Peter Blake, Form Follows Fiasco. See note 3. Despite their human scale, these lowrise projects have often suffered as much abandonment as the guilty highrises — although, with their superblocks covering the old urban grid, they could be dismissed as milder versions of modern- ist anti-urbanism. More disturbing to conventional wisdom is “when bad things happen to good neighborhoods,” i.e., the fate of those core neighborhoods that embodied many of the principles either of Jane Jacobs’s work or the New Urban- ism, but which suffered abandonment as devastating as the highrise projects. I think especially of neighborhoods in Camden, New Jersey, where I used to teach. These once boasted a varied housing stock (much of good quality), a Fishman / Rethinking Public Housing" @default.
