Pratt GAUD

The Pratt School of Archi­tec­ture Depart­ment of Grad­u­ate Archi­tec­ture and Urban Design began the RE:Governors Island ini­tia­tive in Fall 2019. Using var­i­ous sites through­out the Island, stu­dents and fac­ul­ty are active­ly study­ing issues of cli­mate change on the built envi­ron­ment through the devel­op­ment of pro­to­types that have appli­ca­tion beyond the Island itself.

Exhi­bi­tions, work­shops, talks, test­ing and pro­to­typ­ing allow the stu­dents of Pratt to share work with the pub­lic and use the site and its sur­round­ings as a liv­ing lab­o­ra­to­ry of design research.
