  • How Annabelle Selldorf Became the Architect of Our Moment

    Pratt alumna Annabelle Selldorf, renowned for her thoughtful and understated approach to architecture, is currently leading the renovation and expansion of the Frick Collection, blending modern design with historical elements to create spaces that seamlessly harmonize with their surroundings.

  • Equitable Economic Development through Creative Placemaking
