Wide view of an exhibition gallery space featuring a participatory design installation. In the foreground, cardboard architectural models and materials are arranged on a table supported by green plastic crates. The walls display posters, diagrams, sketches, and sticky notes labeled with headings such as “Co-Design Sessions” and “Co-Design Takeaways.” A large projection on the wall shows a group discussion around a table. The space is well-lit with polished concrete floors and large windows along one side.
Exhibition gallery interior with a large projected video on the wall showing people in conversation, including on-screen text reading “Dreams.” In the foreground, a colorful, multi-tiered sculptural installation made of small cube-like modules spells out “Pratt 2025.” Two visitors stand at a green crate-based table labeled “Come and leave your mark,” writing or interacting with materials. Large windows behind the installation reveal leafless trees outside, indicating a daytime winter setting.

Design With – Not For is an exhibition of the work from the Fall 2025 School of Design Co-Design Studio, in collaboration with DREAM Charter High School. Come learn about the co-design process in this interactive exhibit that demonstrates the design build studio!
