A roundup of ideas and projects from around the Institute

  • 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.
