Pratt Institute School of Architecture

Come explore our latest exhibit: Her Practice: The Architecture of Debora Reiser! The Pratt School of Architecture is hosting an exhibition of one of the first women graduates from the Bachelor of Architecture program at Pratt Institute. Curated by Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto, the exhibition showcases Debora’s 75-year career in architecture, exemplifying an uncompromising commitment to a “feminist total design” at a time when women had yet to be fully accepted within the discipline and profession. On view September 12, 2024 - November 15, 2024 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/esKM4q6P Pratt School of Architecture, Hazel and Robert Siegel Gallery, Higgins Hall 61 St James Pl, Brooklyn, NY 11238

Convened by the Historic Preservation program (GCPE, SOA) and the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, this event brings world-leading professionals and scholars to explore the role of AI in cultural and historic preservation in the face of precarity. Traversing tangible and intangible heritage, each speaker will share exemplary responses to the destruction or loss of peoples, cultures and places and the role that AI can play in this context - while mindful of its biases as much as its benefits.

In architectural education, there is no more vulnerable moment than a midterm review. Ideas are just starting to emerge, the fog has begun to clear, but everything is fragile and uncertain. It’s also when the potential of each idea (and each student) seems limitless, every dream seems possible and drawable. I sat in two midterm reviews at Pratt Institute School of Architecture this fall, and saw genuinely wonderful work coming out of Clara Ha’s first year studio and Eunjeong Seong’s fourth year studio. Thanks to them both for inviting me to share in this brief and limitless moment.

Join us tonight at 6:15 PM for Unfinished - A Lecture by Billie Tsien! Life and architecture are not straight lines. This talk will discuss how practice shifts over time and how that changes the work, and ourselves. We will investigate how some principles remain static over time, serving as a foundation and guide, while some change form, gain strength, or fall to the wayside. Empowering the evolution of the creative process allows the work to continue throughout the changes of life. By reflecting on past work and discussing current and upcoming projects, Billie Tsien will engage with how her practice has and continues to shift and evolve.
