A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • Charlotte Böhning and Mary Lempres, both MID ’23, are finalists for the 2022 Lexus Design Award. Their Chitofoam material research project reuses discarded polystyrene foam as food for mealworms and then uses their exoskeletons for an environmentally friendly alternative to polystyrene foam.

  • Na’ye Perez, MFA Fine Arts (Painting/Drawing) ’20, has art on view at BRIC House in Brooklyn through August 28, 2022, that remixes found material and archival photographs to capture everyday experiences of Black love and resilience.

  • Pratt was included in Architectural Digest’s “16 Interior Design Schools Worth Applying To,” with the publication noting the program’s “firm commitment to social and environmental responsibility and professional ethics.”

  • Visiting Assistant Professor Glen Cummings joined @prattgradcomd’s ongoing interview series to share insights into his design practice, being an educator, and how teaching inspires his work: “I believe a designer’s sense of discovery or enjoyment is legible in the things that are made.”

  • Check out @prattinstitute for a shelfie of recent Pratt faculty publications, from explorations of architectural history to poetic experiments.

  • Jennifer Wen Ma, MFA Fine Arts ’99, has a large-scale artwork made of cut paper on view in the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, China, through March. The sculptural black-and-white passageway allows one person to walk through the installation at a time. See more @prattfineart.
