Architects of the Pruitt-Igoe housing development envisioned laundry and communal rooms in the corridors of the buildings.
This image comes from a PDF version of the book Creating Defensible Space by Oscar Newman. He authored it seemingly under contract from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The book gives no specific photo credit.
The image was extracted using the graphics select tool of Acrobat Reader, pasted into Graphics Converter, cropped, verified to employ at most 256 shades of gray, and saved as a PNG image file. The PNG was opened in The Gimp and saved as a greyscale JPEG image file at 75 percent quality on The Gimp's scale. An alternate image found on the Defensible Space website was found to use four colors.
