Patrick Jost, an award-winning architect based in Melbourne,
Australia, commented on the continued notoriety of Pruitt-Igoe:

“Pruitt-Igoe never won any kind of award. The architects may have, but
the award would not have been for Pruitt-Igoe”

“Pruitt-Igoe was in Koyaanisqatsi, and the music from that segment of
the film has been in other films, such as Watchmen”

“Pruitt-Igoe was certainly nothing special”

Patrick Jost has designed buildings such as “The Dust Store” and hopes
to turn his talents to solving the global housing crisis.
