  • How Annabelle Selldorf Became the Architect of Our Moment

    Pratt alumna Annabelle Selldorf, renowned for her thoughtful and understated approach to architecture, is currently leading the renovation and expansion of the Frick Collection, blending modern design with historical elements to create spaces that seamlessly harmonize with their surroundings.

  • Equitable Economic Development through Creative Placemaking

    Constructed in 1907 and abandoned in 1930, the now-vacant Westchester Avenue station in the Bronx was designed by the noted architect of the Woolworth Building, Cass Gilbert. Once a vibrant neighborhood hub, the vacant station has long been a source of community concern and fascination. Protective walls hide the station, virtually invisible in the vast intersection of Westchester Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard and within the socio-economically distressed area of the South Bronx known as the “Toxic Triangle,” created by the intersection of three major expressways.

  • The buildings of the future won’t just be for humans—they’ll be for insects, too

    The article discusses the concept of multispecies architecture, focusing on the work of architect and faculty member Ariane Harrison and her firm Harrison Atelier, particularly their collaboration with the Bee Conservancy to create habitat spaces for bees within architectural structures.
