Minoru Yamasaki has two of his buildings pretty related to a watershed to history. In 1972, his Pruit Igoe Housing conjoint ws imploded due to an extraordinary failure of the principles of the modernist architecture. From Pruit Igoe on, a seek of new and human attributes of architecture started. By the September 11 2001, WTC was demplished by the terrorist attack. These these two footages depict opposite feelings. The first is from Godffrey Reggio movie about "life out of balance", including the implosion of Pruit Igoe in 1972. The other is a sort of non-critic documentary naively showing off an idea of power to transform the terrain into the plataform of WTC. I like seeing both, just to judge how inhuman such kind of building came to mean.
