Master of Architecture at Pratt

The MARCH 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.

Pratt’s department of Graduate Architecture and Urban Design (GAUD) 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. Applicants with degrees from a four-year BSc in Architecture or BScEng in Architecture may qualify for advanced standing.

Integrative Studio

Unique to the GAUD, 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 GAUD 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.

  • ARCH 602 | Design 2: Interiorities & Contexts | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Olivia Vien | Students: Michael Ballou

“The massing concept for my Greenpoint middle school proposal explores relationships between simple cubes of varying sizes. As the cubes come together, they begin to change, both within themselves and in combination with their neighbors. Each object’s original identity is altered by these interactions. The cubes split and shift as if pushed or pulled by each other. Their facades start to overlap and blend, absorbing characteristics from one another. In this way, new and unexpected traits develop in each entity. A dynamic appearance, reflective of a transition state, emerges. Middle school is a time of transition, where identities begin to change and new relationships are formed. For students approaching the school, the form of the building will reflect and encourage an openness to this dynamic. The various sizes, colors and interactions of the cubes promote an environment where students feel welcome to explore new relationships in their own lives.”

  • ARCH 704 | Design 4: Integrated Studio | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Erich Schoenenberger | Students: Deniz Tokman & Colin House @deniztokmann  @col.housee 

Nature strives for balance, yet it’s repeatedly disrupted by catastrophic events—from ancient volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions to today’s human-driven CO₂ emissions that accelerate species loss and displace millions. In urban centers like New York City, where food is largely imported, a significant portion of edible food is wasted, missing an opportunity to recycle vital nutrients. Architects have a unique opportunity to contribute to ecological restoration by designing innovative urban infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact and embeds sustainable practices into everyday life. A valuable framework for this work is offered by the permaculture movement, which defines its goal as “the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems that possess the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems” This semester’s architectural challenge addresses the imbalance caused by urban food waste by capturing its nutrients and energy to boost urban agriculture. Students will design a neighborhood composting facility that transforms food waste into a closed-loop resource for an agricultural greenhouse. Aerobic composting not only produces soil enhancers but also releases CO₂ (5), which can potentially increase agricultural yields by 30 to 40%. Beyond closing the nutrient loop, urban agriculture offers numerous benefits—it fosters self-sufficiency, exemplifies the natural cycles of our environment, generates local jobs, and produces fresh, edible food.

  • ARCH 806 | Design 6: REIMAGINING THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Jonathan Louie / Nicole Mcintosh | Students: Megan McGourley & Alexandra Galante

Our project proposes an architectural intervention that reactivates the historic image of the Maison Cailler chocolate factory. Through careful insertion of new public and hospitality programs, including a cafe, boutique hotel, spa and underground speakeasy, we aim to reinterpret the building not only as a site of production but as a living cultural destination. The project challenges the flatness of architectural image-making by transforming the iconic facade into an inhabitable surface, one that supports spatial experiences and sensory engagement. We applied a blue tone across all new architectural interventions. This is not a final material choice, but a visual device meant to clearly distinguish the areas where we are actively intervening, modifying, or inserting new programmatic elements into the existing.

  • ARCH 602 | Design 2: Interiorities & Context | Spring 2025 | Instructors: MJ Sieira | Students: Ashley Zhong

This design studio addresses a specific site through its interior. It emphasizes the related conceptual and material impacts of this “inside out” approach. Circulation and its material and spatial qualities are explored through the design of a small building that responds to a detailed ensemble of architectural programs and the multiple contexts of a local institution. For this studio, the project involves designing a middle school on a vacant site in Greenpoint,Brooklyn, NY. Greenpoint is a diverse community located in a rapidly developing area of Brooklyn, near the waterfront but, according to the most recent School Construction Authority assessment, with no need to elevate the building. It is, however, located near a contained site, and, based on depth to groundwater, the proposed school would be built slab-on-grade (no basement).

  • ARCH 806 | Design 6:THE AFTERLIVES OF EXTRACTION | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Phoebe Lickwar | Students: Nell Heidinger

The extraction of resources from earth has been recognized as the most consequential driver of ecological change and a primary driver of violence and inequality across the planet. In The Afterlives of Extraction, Louisa Prause examines the extractivist logic of “operation through depletion” that characterizes both mining and industrialized agriculture. These industries radically transform land for profit, depleting natural resources and harming local communities.

Agroecology offers a hopeful alternative to extractive industry with its emphasis on regenerative practices that safeguard resources, build social equity, and facilitate land stewardship. This studio explores how designers can play a key role in the transition to a post-extractivist world by imagining new ways of living and working that integrate agroecological practices and principles. Students will be challenged to imagine new forms of architecture and landscape architecture that subvert extractive logics through the development of alternatives that are process-based, regenerative, and just.

ARCH 602 | Design 2: Interiorities & Contexts | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Olivia Vien | Students: Michael Ballou

“The massing concept for my Greenpoint middle school proposal explores relationships between simple cubes of varying sizes. As the cubes come together, they begin to change, both within themselves and in combination with their neighbors. Each object’s original identity is altered by these interactions. The cubes split and shift as if pushed or pulled by each other. Their facades start to overlap and blend, absorbing characteristics from one another. In this way, new and unexpected traits develop in each entity. A dynamic appearance, reflective of a transition state, emerges. Middle school is a time of transition, where identities begin to change and new relationships are formed. For students approaching the school, the form of the building will reflect and encourage an openness to this dynamic. The various sizes, colors and interactions of the cubes promote an environment where students feel welcome to explore new relationships in their own lives.”

ARCH 704 | Design 4: Integrated Studio | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Erich Schoenenberger | Students: Deniz Tokman & Colin House @deniztokmann  @col.housee 

Nature strives for balance, yet it’s repeatedly disrupted by catastrophic events—from ancient volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions to today’s human-driven CO₂ emissions that accelerate species loss and displace millions. In urban centers like New York City, where food is largely imported, a significant portion of edible food is wasted, missing an opportunity to recycle vital nutrients. Architects have a unique opportunity to contribute to ecological restoration by designing innovative urban infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact and embeds sustainable practices into everyday life. A valuable framework for this work is offered by the permaculture movement, which defines its goal as “the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems that possess the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems” This semester’s architectural challenge addresses the imbalance caused by urban food waste by capturing its nutrients and energy to boost urban agriculture. Students will design a neighborhood composting facility that transforms food waste into a closed-loop resource for an agricultural greenhouse. Aerobic composting not only produces soil enhancers but also releases CO₂ (5), which can potentially increase agricultural yields by 30 to 40%. Beyond closing the nutrient loop, urban agriculture offers numerous benefits—it fosters self-sufficiency, exemplifies the natural cycles of our environment, generates local jobs, and produces fresh, edible food.

ARCH 806 | Design 6: REIMAGINING THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Jonathan Louie / Nicole Mcintosh | Students: Megan McGourley & Alexandra Galante

Our project proposes an architectural intervention that reactivates the historic image of the Maison Cailler chocolate factory. Through careful insertion of new public and hospitality programs, including a cafe, boutique hotel, spa and underground speakeasy, we aim to reinterpret the building not only as a site of production but as a living cultural destination. The project challenges the flatness of architectural image-making by transforming the iconic facade into an inhabitable surface, one that supports spatial experiences and sensory engagement. We applied a blue tone across all new architectural interventions. This is not a final material choice, but a visual device meant to clearly distinguish the areas where we are actively intervening, modifying, or inserting new programmatic elements into the existing.

ARCH 602 | Design 2: Interiorities & Context | Spring 2025 | Instructors: MJ Sieira | Students: Ashley Zhong

This design studio addresses a specific site through its interior. It emphasizes the related conceptual and material impacts of this “inside out” approach. Circulation and its material and spatial qualities are explored through the design of a small building that responds to a detailed ensemble of architectural programs and the multiple contexts of a local institution. For this studio, the project involves designing a middle school on a vacant site in Greenpoint,Brooklyn, NY. Greenpoint is a diverse community located in a rapidly developing area of Brooklyn, near the waterfront but, according to the most recent School Construction Authority assessment, with no need to elevate the building. It is, however, located near a contained site, and, based on depth to groundwater, the proposed school would be built slab-on-grade (no basement).

ARCH 602 | Design 2: Interiorities & Context | Spring 2025 | Instructors: MJ Sieira | Students: Ashley Zhong

This design studio addresses a specific site through its interior. It emphasizes the related conceptual and material impacts of this “inside out” approach. Circulation and its material and spatial qualities are explored through the design of a small building that responds to a detailed ensemble of architectural programs and the multiple contexts of a local institution. For this studio, the project involves designing a middle school on a vacant site in Greenpoint,Brooklyn, NY. Greenpoint is a diverse community located in a rapidly developing area of Brooklyn, near the waterfront but, according to the most recent School Construction Authority assessment, with no need to elevate the building. It is, however, located near a contained site, and, based on depth to groundwater, the proposed school would be built slab-on-grade (no basement).

ARCH 704 | Design 4: Integrated Studio | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Hart Marlow | Students:Adrian Ramon & Noah Spivak @ar.chival  @n__spivak 

Nature strives for balance, yet it’s repeatedly disrupted by catastrophic events—from ancient volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions to today’s human-driven CO₂ emissions that accelerate species loss and displace millions. In urban centers like New York City, where food is largely imported, a significant portion of edible food is wasted, missing an opportunity to recycle vital nutrients. Architects have a unique opportunity to contribute to ecological restoration by designing innovative urban infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact and embeds sustainable practices into everyday life. A valuable framework for this work is offered by the permaculture movement, which defines its goal as “the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems that possess the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems” This semester’s architectural challenge addresses the imbalance caused by urban food waste by capturing its nutrients and energy to boost urban agriculture. Students design a neighborhood composting facility that transforms food waste into a closed-loop resource for an agricultural greenhouse. Aerobic composting not only produces soil enhancers but also releases CO₂ (5), which can potentially increase agricultural yields by 30 to 40%. Beyond closing the nutrient loop, urban agriculture offers numerous benefits—it fosters self-sufficiency, exemplifies the natural cycles of our environment, generates local jobs, and produces fresh, edible food.

ARCH 806 | Design 6:THE AFTERLIVES OF EXTRACTION | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Phoebe Lickwar | Students: Nell Heidinger

The extraction of resources from earth has been recognized as the most consequential driver of ecological change and a primary driver of violence and inequality across the planet. In The Afterlives of Extraction, Louisa Prause examines the extractivist logic of “operation through depletion” that characterizes both mining and industrialized agriculture. These industries radically transform land for profit, depleting natural resources and harming local communities.

Agroecology offers a hopeful alternative to extractive industry with its emphasis on regenerative practices that safeguard resources, build social equity, and facilitate land stewardship. This studio explores how designers can play a key role in the transition to a post-extractivist world by imagining new ways of living and working that integrate agroecological practices and principles. Students will be challenged to imagine new forms of architecture and landscape architecture that subvert extractive logics through the development of alternatives that are process-based, regenerative, and just.

ARCH 806 | Design 6:THE AFTERLIVES OF EXTRACTION | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Phoebe Lickwar | Students: Nell Heidinger

The extraction of resources from earth has been recognized as the most consequential driver of ecological change and a primary driver of violence and inequality across the planet. In The Afterlives of Extraction, Louisa Prause examines the extractivist logic of “operation through depletion” that characterizes both mining and industrialized agriculture. These industries radically transform land for profit, depleting natural resources and harming local communities.

Agroecology offers a hopeful alternative to extractive industry with its emphasis on regenerative practices that safeguard resources, build social equity, and facilitate land stewardship. This studio explores how designers can play a key role in the transition to a post-extractivist world by imagining new ways of living and working that integrate agroecological practices and principles. Students will be challenged to imagine new forms of architecture and landscape architecture that subvert extractive logics through the development of alternatives that are process-based, regenerative, and just.

ARCH 602 | Design 2: Interiorities & Context | Spring 2025 | Instructors: Olivia Vien | Students: Nandini Satheesh

This design studio addresses a specific site through its interior. It emphasizes the related conceptual and material impacts of this “inside out” approach. Circulation and its material and spatial qualities are explored through the design of a small building that responds to a detailed ensemble of architectural programs and the multiple contexts of a local institution. For this studio, the project involves designing a middle school on a vacant site in Greenpoint,Brooklyn, NY. Greenpoint is a diverse community located in a rapidly developing area of Brooklyn, near the waterfront but, according to the most recent School Construction Authority assessment, with no need to elevate the building. It is, however, located near a contained site, and, based on depth to groundwater, the proposed school would be built slab-on-grade (no basement).
