A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Ali Chen, MS Packaging, Identities, and Systems Design ’20, is featured in a Q&A on Archinect which highlights her multidisciplinary practice in architecture and design and her work on a new study app: “Whether it’s on the beach or the subway commute, I hope to help people integrate this architectural content into their life instead of having their lives revolve around studying and memorization.”

  • “LET/D” by Meng Ning, MID ’22, promotes social interaction between strangers in public space through the use of light. Read more on the Pratt MID site.

  • For Pride Month, @prattinteriors is sharing student work from this spring’s graduate studio led by Adjunct Assistant Professor Virginia Black that partnered with G.L.I.T.S. (Gays & Lesbians Living in a Transgender Society).

  • Follow @prattyouth for updates from the Pratt Young Scholars Class of 2024, including rising junior Sam who shared art made during the program: “I would consider this my favorite because that was the first time I even attempted drawing a full figure. Firsts of anything for me are always fun because I enjoy learning something new.”

  • Sophonie Milande Joseph, adjunct associate professor in the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment (GCPE), is one of the inaugural fellows of New City Critics, a program from Urban Omnibus/the Architectural League of New York and Urban Design Forum to empower new voices in how cities are designed and developed.

  • Eva Díaz, associate professor of history of art and design, was featured in a Q&A on the Art & Education platform. Díaz discussed why she got into teaching, how she structures her courses at Pratt, and how she connects her students with the local art scene: “At Pratt we have almost limitless resources to experience art in New York City.”
