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 3 (of 3) – Design and Action; Reciprocity From South to North

This all day workshop will bring together 6+ international schools from the Global North and South, from Southeast Asia, North and South America, their faculty and students to work with various local community organizations, national and international stakeholders. Teams will work at similar scales across three sites applying holistic approaches to water challenges with a specific focus on critical areas of NYC. The workshop is choreographed and conceived building upon similar types of workshops convened at Pratt Institute and which our partners have organized around similar subjects in the recent past. Students will be using artificial intelligence to visualize aspects of each teams proposals as a comparative point of discussion and engagement.
