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.

  • ARCH 713A MEDIUMS 3: FABRICATION
Spring 2026 | Wasted x Van Alen
Professor Poyao Shih

Students we tasked with a challenge: make a stool only using cast-offs and waste from our own building at the Pratt School of Architecture, then use those stools as the seating for an event at the Van Alen Institute focused on waste in architecture. @van_alen @prattsoa

The challenge was made as part of an annual program of course that move from material studies into full-scale prototyping and fabrication. Students transformed cut-off material, found wood, and cast resin and concrete into fully realized stools, focusing on structure, surface, and assembly logic developed through earlier iterations. Each piece is supported by detailed shop drawings that communicate its fabrication process, resulting in functional objects designed for real use.

The stools were featured as seating for this year’s WASTED event at the Van Alen Institute, where Pratt hosts an annual public conversation on waste in architecture. This year’s theme explores reuse with a maximum economy of means, asking how waste can be reframed as architecture with minimal energy, labor, and cost.
The evening included presentations and a panel discussion on the architecture of reuse, alongside student work that demonstrates how discarded materials can be reimagined into purposeful design.

  • LO—TEK. WATER. A FIELD GUIDE FOR TEKNOLOGY: JULIA WATSON
Thursday, April 16th
6:15 - 7:15 pm, Higgins Hall North Room 304


How do we design in partnership with nature rather than in dominance over it? Julia Watson, author of Lo—TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism and Lo—TEK Water, explores Indigenous innovation as resilient and regenerative models for a climate-altered world. She presents ancestral technologies and living systems from Southeast Asia and the Amazon, connecting cultural and ecological intelligence to contemporary built-environment challenges. The lecture introduces the Lo—TEK Institute and the Office for Intercultural Urbanism, an Indigenous and non-Indigenous-led practice guided by a majority-Indigenous advisory circle, inviting audiences to rethink design as stewardship of evolving biocultural systems rooted in place-based knowledge.

Author and designer Julia Watson is a global advocate for Indigenous ecological knowledge and the bestselling author of Lo—TEK, Design by Radical Indigenism. Of Greco-Egyptian-English descent and Australian-born, Julia studied landscape architecture at Harvard and has taught at Columbia, Harvard, and RISD. Her work is inspired by travels across the globe and a lifelong mission to uplift ancestral technologies through storytelling. She co-founded the Lo—TEK Institute, launched the Living Earth Curriculum, and co-leads the Lo—TEK Office of Intercultural Urbanism, leading the way in regenerative design—merging Indigenous science, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and cutting-edge urban innovation.

  • WASTED X VAN ALEN
Tuesday, April 7th
6:15 - 8:00 pm, Van Alen Institute

Each year, Pratt hosts a public conversation about the status of waste in architecture. This year will focus on on the idea of reuse with a maximum economy of means. How can waste be re-thought as architecture with the very least amount of expenditure in terms of energy, labor, and capital? Is there even a zero-degree waste-to-architecture conversion, where the transition from one state to another is almost purely a mental reframing?

Please join us for an evening of presentations on the architecture of re-use, featuring short talks by New Affiliates (Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb), Stock-a-Studio (Xavi Aguirre), and Estudio [PM] (Paula Stoddard Sotomayor and Michael Ortiz Jiménez), a moderated panel discussion with Pratt Associate Professor Stephanie Bayard, and an introduction by Andrew Holder, Chair of Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design. Students will exhibit recent work on material re-use at Pratt, including a series of stools that will be used for event seating.

  • BOOK LAUNCH | LIZ CARLISLE’S LIVING ROOTS
Monday, April 6th
6:15 - 8:00 pm, Higgins Hall North Room 304

Liz Carlisle’s Living Roots makes the case for putting perennial foods at the center of our farms and our plates, to add flavor and nutrients to our diets while reducing emissions and making our food system more resilient to climate change and economic uncertainty.
With contributions from James Beard Award-winning chefs, Macarthur genius grant-winning scientists, and a host of farmers who are leading the way on perennializing agriculture, the book takes readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the largest urban food forest in the United States, the test plots developing the first commercial perennial grains, and the vast grasslands where Indigenous communities are returning bison to their prairie homelands. In the process, each contributor shares their unique story of learning with these long-lived plants about how to root deeper in the face of existential challenges, speaking directly to readers charting their own path on a rapidly changing planet.

Liz Carlisle is an Associate Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara, where she teaches courses on food and farming. Born and raised in Montana, she got hooked on agriculture while working as an aide to organic farmer and U.S. Senator Jon Tester, which led to a decade of research and writing collaborations with farmers in her home state. She has written three books about regenerative and organic farming: Lentil Underground, Grain by Grain, and Healing Grounds, and she is co-editor of the new edited collection Living Roots: The Promise of Perennial Foods. Prior to her career as a writer and academic, she spent several years touring rural America as a country singer.

  • ARCH 806 | ADVANCED DESIGN RESEARCH 2: FOREVER IS A LONG TIME
Spring  2026 | Mid Review Models
Professor Rosetta Elkin, Co-Teacher Lane Raffaldini Rubin

This studio defines design research as a commons; a collective resource encompassing a range of methods shared by landscape architecture and architecture. Like creativity, research is not the province of a single discipline. What we have in common is manifold. Therefore, advanced design research offers an opportunity for students to come together across different disciplinary traditions, and to define what makes design a tradition. This requisite for articulating this kind of meaning is made relevant in our times, since design method is often conflated with scientific methods. The tendency for designers to emulate a “scientific method”, is presumably made because the techniques and routines of science seem to model reality.

  • ARCH 806 | ADVANCED DESIGN RESEARCH 2: A NEW DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB
Spring  2026 | Mid Review Models
Professor Wonne Ickx, Co-Teacher Genevieve Garlock

This studio takes the historic “Downtown Athletic Club” as a cue to problematize the relation between architectural image and program (content), and to challenge contemporary ideas on wellness and fitness as a space for socializing, collective experience and community. Before the actual design works starts, students will research architectural discourse and references projects related to the studio, as well as the history of the site. These initial explorations include of course the well-known writing on the Downtown Athletic Club by Rem Koolhaas in the framework of his work on the Metropolis and the Culture of Congestion from “Delirious New York” (1978).

LO—TEK. WATER. A FIELD GUIDE FOR TEKNOLOGY: JULIA WATSON
Thursday, April 16th
6:15 - 7:15 pm, Higgins Hall North Room 304


How do we design in partnership with nature rather than in dominance over it? Julia Watson, author of Lo—TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism and Lo—TEK Water, explores Indigenous innovation as resilient and regenerative models for a climate-altered world. She presents ancestral technologies and living systems from Southeast Asia and the Amazon, connecting cultural and ecological intelligence to contemporary built-environment challenges. The lecture introduces the Lo—TEK Institute and the Office for Intercultural Urbanism, an Indigenous and non-Indigenous-led practice guided by a majority-Indigenous advisory circle, inviting audiences to rethink design as stewardship of evolving biocultural systems rooted in place-based knowledge.

Author and designer Julia Watson is a global advocate for Indigenous ecological knowledge and the bestselling author of Lo—TEK, Design by Radical Indigenism. Of Greco-Egyptian-English descent and Australian-born, Julia studied landscape architecture at Harvard and has taught at Columbia, Harvard, and RISD. Her work is inspired by travels across the globe and a lifelong mission to uplift ancestral technologies through storytelling. She co-founded the Lo—TEK Institute, launched the Living Earth Curriculum, and co-leads the Lo—TEK Office of Intercultural Urbanism, leading the way in regenerative design—merging Indigenous science, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK), and cutting-edge urban innovation.

Drawings, models, mappings, and full-scale studies are brought together through an interactive exhibition design that invites visitors to move across projects, tracing connections between ecologies, communities and projects. Emphasizing process, Field Archives reveals landscape architecture as iterative practice: grounded in observation, expanded through dialogue, and continuously in formation.

WASTED X VAN ALEN
Tuesday, April 7th
6:15 - 8:00 pm, Van Alen Institute

Each year, Pratt hosts a public conversation about the status of waste in architecture. This year will focus on on the idea of reuse with a maximum economy of means. How can waste be re-thought as architecture with the very least amount of expenditure in terms of energy, labor, and capital? Is there even a zero-degree waste-to-architecture conversion, where the transition from one state to another is almost purely a mental reframing?

Please join us for an evening of presentations on the architecture of re-use, featuring short talks by New Affiliates (Ivi Diamantopoulou and Jaffer Kolb), Stock-a-Studio (Xavi Aguirre), and Estudio [PM] (Paula Stoddard Sotomayor and Michael Ortiz Jiménez), a moderated panel discussion with Pratt Associate Professor Stephanie Bayard, and an introduction by Andrew Holder, Chair of Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design. Students will exhibit recent work on material re-use at Pratt, including a series of stools that will be used for event seating.

BOOK LAUNCH | LIZ CARLISLE’S LIVING ROOTS
Monday, April 6th
6:15 - 8:00 pm, Higgins Hall North Room 304

Liz Carlisle’s Living Roots makes the case for putting perennial foods at the center of our farms and our plates, to add flavor and nutrients to our diets while reducing emissions and making our food system more resilient to climate change and economic uncertainty.
With contributions from James Beard Award-winning chefs, Macarthur genius grant-winning scientists, and a host of farmers who are leading the way on perennializing agriculture, the book takes readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the largest urban food forest in the United States, the test plots developing the first commercial perennial grains, and the vast grasslands where Indigenous communities are returning bison to their prairie homelands. In the process, each contributor shares their unique story of learning with these long-lived plants about how to root deeper in the face of existential challenges, speaking directly to readers charting their own path on a rapidly changing planet.

Liz Carlisle is an Associate Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at UC Santa Barbara, where she teaches courses on food and farming. Born and raised in Montana, she got hooked on agriculture while working as an aide to organic farmer and U.S. Senator Jon Tester, which led to a decade of research and writing collaborations with farmers in her home state. She has written three books about regenerative and organic farming: Lentil Underground, Grain by Grain, and Healing Grounds, and she is co-editor of the new edited collection Living Roots: The Promise of Perennial Foods. Prior to her career as a writer and academic, she spent several years touring rural America as a country singer.

ARCH 806 | ADVANCED DESIGN RESEARCH 2: FOREVER IS A LONG TIME
Spring  2026 | Mid Review Models
Professor Rosetta Elkin, Co-Teacher Lane Raffaldini Rubin

This studio defines design research as a commons; a collective resource encompassing a range of methods shared by landscape architecture and architecture. Like creativity, research is not the province of a single discipline. What we have in common is manifold. Therefore, advanced design research offers an opportunity for students to come together across different disciplinary traditions, and to define what makes design a tradition. This requisite for articulating this kind of meaning is made relevant in our times, since design method is often conflated with scientific methods. The tendency for designers to emulate a “scientific method”, is presumably made because the techniques and routines of science seem to model reality. 

Work by Students: 1,7. Madelyn Townsend and Chloe Kellner, 2. Andrew Reiter and Lesley Arevalo, 3. Christine Lifton and William McNeil, 4,5. Anna Sheikh and Olivia Harmanos, 6. Kelsey McKenna and Dong Hoon Kim

This requisite for articulating this kind of meaning is made relevant in our times, since design method is often conflated with scientific methods. The tendency for designers to emulate a “scientific method”, is presumably made because the techniques and routines of science seem to model reality.

ARCH 806 | ADVANCED DESIGN RESEARCH 2: A NEW DOWNTOWN ATHLETIC CLUB
Spring  2026 | Mid Review Models
Professor Wonne Ickx, Co-Teacher Genevieve Garlock

This studio takes the historic “Downtown Athletic Club” as a cue to problematize the relation between architectural image and program (content), and to challenge contemporary ideas on wellness and fitness as a space for socializing, collective experience and community. Before the actual design works starts, students will research architectural discourse and references projects related to the studio, as well as the history of the site. These initial explorations include of course the well-known writing on the Downtown Athletic Club by Rem Koolhaas in the framework of his work on the Metropolis and the Culture of Congestion from “Delirious New York” (1978). 

Work by Students: 1,6. Costanza Bacci and Harrison DuBose, 2,7. Peter Harvey and Rachit Joshi, 3,8. Abyan Mohammed Ali and Halil Emre Baştürk, 4,9. Mateusz Wos and Brian Chan, 5. Kerry Richardson and Joji Kawamura
