Prva reakcija, naravno - zbunjenost. Ko još zna za Pruitt-Igoe van sveta arhitekture ili, eventualno, sociologije? Iako se na prvi pogled čini da je argument zato što dobro zvuči ili nije ni bitno kako se zove ako ovako dobro izgleda (ne)dovoljan, ipak ja tu vidim i nešto više. Rušenje naselja Pruitt-Igoe možda označava kraj Moderne u arhitekturi, ali kolekcija Harim Jung, mlade korejske dizajnerke sa svežom diplomom Parsonsa, ne može biti modernija, u najboljem, ovde i sada, smislu te reči! Istorija, pisana na nov način. I zajednička vizija, naravno. Talentovani poljski fotograf Dominik Tarabanski i set dizajnerka Zu-Sb savršeno su dobro razumeli šta je Harim Jung htela da kaže, i to pretočili u savršenstvo zvano - Pruitt Igoe. Zaista, nebitno je kako se zove ako ovako dobro izgleda :)

My first reaction was, naturally - confusion. I was pretty certain no one outside the world of architecture/urban planning/sociology knew about Pruitt-Igoe. Even though mere because it sounds catchy or it doesn't matter what it's called when it looks this good argument would be (in)sufficient, I'm sure there is more to it. The demolition of Pruitt-Igoe might be marking the end of Modern architecture, but I can assure you that Harim Jung's collection is being modern at its best, being here and now! History, but written in a new way. And sharing common vision, as well. Harim Jung might be a young Korean designer with the fresh Parsons diploma, but it took talented Polish photographer Dominik Tarabanski and set designer Zu-Sb for this perfection to be complete. And, in the end - it doesn't really matter what you call it if it looks this good :)
