Pratt  is a leading art, design, and architecture Institute of higher education based in Brooklyn NY with venues on its main campus in Clinton Hill and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Together with Rebuild by Design and Water as Leverage, and alongside other academic institutions, design organizations, architecture, landscape architecture, design and engineering firms, financial institutions and community organizations, Pratt is hosting a three-part UNWC side event entitled “Condensations; Designing In Water.” Using the title as an analogy, the event(s) aim to change “phases,” from mitigation to adaptation.  They aim to pull concepts across sectors and to evidence both commitments, realizable design strategies and solutions.

Part 2 – Design and Value; Between Communities, Science and Innovation

• Drawing upon the resources of Pratt Institute and our partners as both participants and conveners with a track record of organizing similar types of exchanges, these three moderated discussions with brief presentations and intensive audience participation, will look at the value of design in issues of water safety, access, quality and delivery in dense urban areas through three key areas :
  A: Designing Water in Communities
  B: Designing Water in Science
  C: Designing Water Innovations
