A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • David Miles Ziskind, BArch ’68, was given the 2024 Henry Hobson Richardson Award at the 2024 AIANYS Professional Service Awards. The award recognizes AIA members licensed in New York State and practicing in the private sector who have made significant contributions to the quality of NYS public architecture.

  • Dana-Marie Bullock, MFA ’25, was interviewed for Canvas Rebel. “I am currently developing a performance, The Unspeaking Woman, that extends the body of work I am producing for my upcoming MFA thesis show at Pratt Institute,” she said. “Drawing upon my research and the material experiments I produced in the form of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and installations, The Unspeaking Woman marks my debut with live performance and explores themes related to disability, trauma and loss, bodily autonomy, sexuality, and gender.”

  • Quinn Gregory, MArch ’25, wrote an article for The Architect’s Newspaper about the “complicated relationship between bicycling and urbanism.” He considers the challenge of “how to reclaim streets designed for cars and turn them into spaces for people.”

  • Adjunct Associate Professor of Fine Arts Jessica Stoller was featured in artnet and Colossal in conjunction with her latest exhibition, Split, which is on view at P.P.O.W. in Tribeca through April 5. “In this show, I’m thinking about a few splits, for one, the way we have split reproductive capabilities and fetal life from the potentially pregnant person carrying the embryo,” she told artnet. “But also a split in terms of our relationship to the earth, and the intersection of the natural world being seen as something inert, exploitable, and extractable and the pathologizing of the female body.” 

  • Assistant Professor of Fashion Design Susan Cianciolo and Sarah Martin-Nuss, MFA Fine Arts ’24, were featured in Cultured Magazine’s article about artistic mentorship between women. Martin-Nuss discusses her relationship with artist Yuan Fang. “It’s a quiet but powerful support system—built on mutual admiration, a shared work ethic, and an unspoken understanding of what it means to devote yourself to a practice.”

  • Mapa Mueller, MFA Interior Design ’28 was profiled in Saratoga Living in an article that explores her design career. “A great design makes a strong first impression, keeps people comfortable, and creates those moments that stick with them—and end up all over social media,” she said.

  • Can Yasar Köklü, BFA Film ’26, has published CYK, a book of photographs and writings. The artist’s book “explores his experiences growing up, the traditions that inform his art, and his feelings in three different cultures”—Germany, Turkey, and the United States. 

  • Laurel Dewitt, BFA Fashion Design ’06, designed Glorilla’s wardrobe for her performance for the iHeartRadio Awards. Dewitt also designed the outfits for the backup dancers.
