Master of Architecture at Pratt

The M.Arch curriculum embraces an integrative approach to design that weaves together technical knowledge and creative practice, building science and environmental stewardship, and professional responsibility and equity. We actively engage the pressing climatic and social challenges of our era through rigorous inquiry. Through case studies that leverage the city as our classroom, students develop innovative design strategies that convey a thorough understanding of the way in which architecture shapes the built environment and its communities. As architects, our inquiry extends across all scales of the built environment, from individual buildings to neighborhoods, cities, and all the way to global systems and ecosystems. What connects our intervention across this broad range of scales is our deep commitment to design work that prioritizes the well-being and safety of all life forms.

The Experience

two people discussing what they are working on, in a large studio room, filled with architectural models

Pratt’s department of Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design (GA/LA/UD) balances knowledge and understanding, enhancing your individual capacities to ask often difficult and challenging questions facing the profession and discipline, specifically through design and with audiences outside of architecture and urban design. This program is intended for students holding a four-year undergraduate, nonprofessional degree in any field.

Integrative Studio

Unique to the GA/LA/UD, the Integrative Studio is a combined design and integrative building-systems course and brings together a number of related disciplines into a single project, which students develop in teams. An ensemble of technical consultants from world-leading firms in New York City work directly with GA/LA/UD faculty and students on their design projects engaging in facade design, structural design, energy design and more. 

Directed Research

In your final two semesters, the advanced curriculum is focused on Directed Research studios and electives. Among the studios, you might apply to participate in the Studio of Experiments, which is an opportunity to work closely with a visiting faculty member on a directed research topic set by the department chair. Learn more about Directed Research.

Seminars, Lectures & Events

Immersive seminars, lectures and events accompany each semester. They explore contemporary issues in architectural practice and research, and foster discussion between students and prominent scholars. Exhibitions spotlight exceptional faculty and student work, and the student publication offers students opportunities to engage in theoretical, editorial, and writing activities.

  • PRATT SESSIONS: NADAAA
Thursday, September 18th
6:15 - 8:00 pm, Higgins Hall Auditorium

Nader Tehrani will join GA/LA/UD Chair Andrew Holder to present a canonical project from his practice NADAAA as part of the Department’s series of Pratt Sessions. For over two decades, Nader’s work has led the effort to integrate complex geometric and computer-based fabrication into he core of Architecture’s age-old concerns with organization, tectonics, and aesthetics. Recently, though, he has accepted a number of cultural commissions in historic buildings that tend to suppress exactly the complex visual signatures with which the firm has long been identified. The session will take up a close reading of NADAAA’s project “Villa Varoise” to clarify the continuing concerns of his practice, changes in the architectural milieu, and the possible ways that design might respond.

Pratt Sessions are a format for discourse at the Department of Graduate Architecture, Landscape, and Urban Design. The sessions seek to refine and intensify the event-structures commonly found in the design academy. Whereas lectures desire general audiences for broad overviews or introductions, Pratt Sessions focus on just one piece of work by a single author or practice. Whereas juries convene faculty to critically engage student work at the end of a project, Pratt Sessions gathers colleagues to support the intellectual project of a figure we mutually admire.

  • PRIMER 1

Representation is a critical skill for architects to utilize in all parts of the building process - from concept development, formal designing, or construction documentation. Architectural Mediums Primer is an intensive 2 week workshop that aims to expose students to a variety of representational tools through multimedia explorations from form making, material application, and fabrication. These investigations began with studies of figures and relief that culminated in a final product of a site and a massing hybrid. Students scan through a selection of shapes in a catalog and begin overlapping, scaling, and aggregating these shapes into a confrontation hybridized from. Through these explorations, students honed techniques of representation. These techniques spanned a wide range of architectural platforms and tools from computational processes to drawings, orthographic sections to 3 dimensional objects such as models. Students are then equipped with a representational skill set that allows them to realize complex, layered ideas that can be more easily deployed onto the mental understanding of their colleagues and onto the physical landscape of built architecture.

  • NCKU NY 
The four-week National Cheng Kung University x Pratt CCA NY Summer Program explored adaptive reuse and climate-responsive design in the context of Brooklyn’s Navy Yard, an industrial waterfront site increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise. Studio groups engaged with buildings 313, 269, or 131, addressing compound threats through strategies of climate adaptation, adaptive reuse, and programmatic studies within the New York Archipelago. Projects emerged from collective research, site analysis, and speculative design, reimagining the adapted buildings as mixed-use programs. The final proposals emphasized resilience, material performance, and the integration of adaptive reuse as a critical framework for contemporary architectural practice.

  • Franklin D. Israel: A Life in Architecture. Presented by the Author, Todd Gannon
Thursday, September 11th
6:15 - 8:15 pm
Location: Higgins Hall Auditorium

Todd Gannon is a professor of architecture at The Ohio State University’s Knowlton School, where he was head of the architecture section from 2017 to 2022. He has held the Robert S. Livesey Professorship at the Knowlton School and the Cass Gilbert Visiting Professorship at the University of Minnesota. He also has taught at Otis College of Art and Design, UCLA, and SCI-Arc, where he coordinated the History + Theory curriculum from 2011 to 2017.

His new book, Franklin D. Israel: A Life in Architecture, examines the life and legacy of Franklin D. Israel, an influential member of the Los Angeles school of architects.

Acclaimed Los Angeles architect Franklin D. Israel (1945–1996) created innovative residential projects and office interiors that made him one of the most talked-about designers of his generation. In this vivid account, architectural historian Todd Gannon draws on archival resources, analyses of Israel’s buildings, and recent interviews with the architect’s colleagues, clients, and contemporaries, including Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, and Robert A. M. Stern. Gannon traces Israel’s development from his early years and career on the East Coast to his formative world travels and residence at the American Academy in Rome. The author guides readers through the Los Angeles architectural context, Israel’s influential teaching at UCLA, his dalliance with Hollywood, and the personal motivations behind his architecture and design work—all aspects of an influential career that was cut short by his death from AIDS-related complications at the age of fifty.

  • PRIMER 2

Architectural Mediums Primer 2 is an intensive 2-week studio workshop that investigates concepts of advanced architectural representation and model making. Beginning with historical drawing precedents, students meticulously document, transcribe, and understand the drawing systems to develop a catalog of detailed architectural assets. These assets are used to develop a new representational narrative which is inserted back into the context in which it originally existed. The work is presented as an exhibition of architectural assets based on a historical topic students develop their own method of presentation to include how the final project is viewed, held, and positioned.

  • Resonance: Spatial Echoes Between Form, City, and System
MS.Arch and MSUD Selected Works | 2024-2025 
August 28th - September 12th
Opening Reception: August 28th, Thursday, 6:15 pm
Location: Hazel & Robert H. Siegel Gallery, Higgins Hall

The exhibition features the curated work of Pratt Institute’s 2024–2025 MS.Arch and MSUD students. Spanning scales and temporalities, the projects explore fabrication, urban speculation, infrastructural reinvention, housing innovation, and architectural communication. At their core lies a shared curiosity: how design reverberates, how space can mirror the systems, contexts, and cultural forces that shape it. These echoes are not mere repetitions, but spatial responses - a form that registers its environment, a structure that adapts to pressure, a city that remembers. Together, they form a field of resonance where architecture and urbanism engage the world, reflecting its shifting ground.

  • MS ARCH / MS UD | Fall 2024 - Summer 2025 | Instructors: Alex Tahinos, Fabian Llonch, Erich Schoenenberger, Oliver Schaper, Valeria Cedillos, and Peter Trummer

This work is the culmination of a year of research and design by students in studios led by Alex Tahinos, Fabian Llonch, Erich Schoenenberger, Oliver Schaper, Valeria Cedillos, and Peter Trummer

The Master of Science in Architecture program prepares students to become leaders in the field by employing innovative design research tools and methodologies to address the social and environmental challenges confronting modern cities.

The MS Urban Design sequence asks the urban surface to demonstrate new formats, media and strategies for urban resilience.Harnessing the space between oversized architectures and undersized territories in increasingly more densely populated 21st-century cities, you will cultivate an understanding of urban design’s central role in addressing climate change and social inequity. Urban fabric registers, and in many cases contributes to the simultaneous increase of human population, temperatures, carbon and flooding.

The four-week National Cheng Kung University x Pratt CCA NY Summer Program explored adaptive reuse and climate-responsive design in the context of Brooklyn’s Navy Yard, an industrial waterfront site increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise. Studio groups engaged with buildings 313, 269, or 131, addressing compound threats through strategies of climate adaptation, adaptive reuse, and programmatic studies within the New York Archipelago. Projects emerged from collective research, site analysis, and speculative design, reimagining the adapted buildings as mixed-use programs. The final proposals emphasized resilience, material performance, and the integration of adaptive reuse as a critical framework for contemporary architectural practice.

Franklin D. Israel: A Life in Architecture. Presented by the Author, Todd Gannon
Thursday, September 11th
6:15 - 8:15 pm
Location: Higgins Hall Auditorium

Todd Gannon is a professor of architecture at The Ohio State University’s Knowlton School, where he was head of the architecture section from 2017 to 2022. He has held the Robert S. Livesey Professorship at the Knowlton School and the Cass Gilbert Visiting Professorship at the University of Minnesota. He also has taught at Otis College of Art and Design, UCLA, and SCI-Arc, where he coordinated the History + Theory curriculum from 2011 to 2017.

His new book, Franklin D. Israel: A Life in Architecture, examines the life and legacy of Franklin D. Israel, an influential member of the Los Angeles school of architects.

Acclaimed Los Angeles architect Franklin D. Israel (1945–1996) created innovative residential projects and office interiors that made him one of the most talked-about designers of his generation. In this vivid account, architectural historian Todd Gannon draws on archival resources, analyses of Israel’s buildings, and recent interviews with the architect’s colleagues, clients, and contemporaries, including Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, and Robert A. M. Stern. Gannon traces Israel’s development from his early years and career on the East Coast to his formative world travels and residence at the American Academy in Rome. The author guides readers through the Los Angeles architectural context, Israel’s influential teaching at UCLA, his dalliance with Hollywood, and the personal motivations behind his architecture and design work—all aspects of an influential career that was cut short by his death from AIDS-related complications at the age of fifty.

The author guides readers through the Los Angeles architectural context, Israel’s influential teaching at UCLA, his dalliance with Hollywood, and the personal motivations behind his architecture and design work—all aspects of an influential career that was cut short by his death from AIDS-related complications at the age of fifty.

PRIMER 2

Architectural Mediums Primer 2 is an intensive 2-week studio workshop that investigates concepts of advanced architectural representation and model making. Beginning with historical drawing precedents, students meticulously document, transcribe, and understand the drawing systems to develop a catalog of detailed architectural assets. These assets are used to develop a new representational narrative which is inserted back into the context in which it originally existed. The work is presented as an exhibition of architectural assets based on a historical topic students develop their own method of presentation to include how the final project is viewed, held, and positioned.

Student Work:
1. Courtney Masters | Instructor: Alex Tahinos
2. Harsh Panchal | Instructor: Alex Tahinos
3. Wonhee Cho | Instructor: Alex Tahinos

Resonance: Spatial Echoes Between Form, City, and System
MS.Arch and MSUD Selected Works | 2024-2025 
August 28th - September 12th
Opening Reception: August 28th, Thursday, 6:15 pm
Location: Hazel & Robert H. Siegel Gallery, Higgins Hall

The exhibition features the curated work of Pratt Institute’s 2024–2025 MS.Arch and MSUD students. Spanning scales and temporalities, the projects explore fabrication, urban speculation, infrastructural reinvention, housing innovation, and architectural communication. At their core lies a shared curiosity: how design reverberates, how space can mirror the systems, contexts, and cultural forces that shape it. These echoes are not mere repetitions, but spatial responses - a form that registers its environment, a structure that adapts to pressure, a city that remembers. Together, they form a field of resonance where architecture and urbanism engage the world, reflecting its shifting ground.

MS ARCH / MS UD | Fall 2024 - Summer 2025 | Instructors: Alex Tahinos, Fabian Llonch, Erich Schoenenberger, Oliver Schaper, Valeria Cedillos, and Peter Trummer

This work is the culmination of a year of research and design by students in studios led by Alex Tahinos, Fabian Llonch, Erich Schoenenberger, Oliver Schaper, Valeria Cedillos, and Peter Trummer

The Master of Science in Architecture program prepares students to become leaders in the field by employing innovative design research tools and methodologies to address the social and environmental challenges confronting modern cities.

The MS Urban Design sequence asks the urban surface to demonstrate new formats, media and strategies for urban resilience.Harnessing the space between oversized architectures and undersized territories in increasingly more densely populated 21st-century cities, you will cultivate an understanding of urban design’s central role in addressing climate change and social inequity. Urban fabric registers, and in many cases contributes to the simultaneous increase of human population, temperatures, carbon and flooding.

Student Work:
1. Kim GyuBeom and Jonathan Lee | Instructor: Fabian Llonch
2. Kim Bumsuk | Instructor: Fabian Llonch
3. Mithila Sunil Patil | Instructor: Peter Trummer and Pinar Araci
4. Bhavya Prajapati | Instructor: Peter Trummer and Pinar Araci
