The Industrial Design Department-Design as a Performing Art
The primary objective of the Industrial Design Department is to direct students toward a greater understanding of both the concept and process of design. We strive to develop our students’ capacity for critical thinking and to encourage imaginative and innovative approaches in seeking and developing meaningful solutions to problems. Our graduates are form oriented, culturally aware and humanistic.
As trained specialists, they are conscious of their role in commerce and industry, but understand that their ultimate responsibility is to honor both the beauty of form and the quality of life in our complex world.
Our larger responsibility is to help each student find his or her way with confidence and personal satisfaction in this broad and diverse field called Industrial Design.

History of Industrial Design
“The curriculum at Pratt was planned to prepare the students for a professional career in industrial design, while providing a series of experiences which were equally relevant to painting, sculpture and the graphic arts.”
Rowena Reed Kostellow
“I feel that function is an expression of a time, and that aesthetic reactions influence man-made form, and we in turn are influenced by them.”
