LECTURES: PRATT SESSIONS

The Pratt Sessions are a new format of lecture—organized by the GAUD Chair and the Dean as part of the School of Architecture’s lecture series—aiming to encourage student participation in a discussion-oriented format. Seen as a "distributed symposium," each session brings together two participants; one regionally based and one non-regionally based. Participants will frame their work (or a portion of it) around a disciplinary subject or provocation in short, non-standard lecture presentations. Pratt Sessions explores and examines how "mediums" can be defined, re-defined, and understood within the realm of architectural design (subject one: Architectural Mediums) or how "contexts" can be defined, re-defined, and understood within the realm of architectural design (subject two: Architectural Contexts).
