These diverse entries and winners can be viewed at the Design 21/ Sustainable Pratt site. Entries were juried by Debera Johnson: Center for Sustainable Design Studies, Jacqui Khiu: Design 21, Donna Moran: School of Art and Design, and Green Week Keynote Speaker Paul Polak. Here is a quick list of entries, find details on each entry below...... Evan Dublin Industrial Design Community Natatorium Graduate Architecture Studio Generative Wind Component Sian-Yew-Lian, Graduate Architecture Crisis Fronts Undergrad Architecture Studio Sustainability as Context Brendan Sheehan Integrative Healing Center and Maya Visitor Center Robert Panko, Interior Design ToySource Hallie Trattner, Yoshiko Iobe and Eileen Diaz Graduate Interior Design ToySource Andrea Ferrer, Susan Lam and Kristen L'esperance Graduate Interior Design THIS IS NOT GARBAGE Melissa Schroder, Margot Walker, and Juliana Zambrano, Graduate Urban Design ENViHarlem: A New Landscape Kurt Altschul, Sergio Espriella and Sanksshep Mahendra, Graduate Urban Design Annie Clark Graduate City Planning Miyuki Fujibayashi, William Mackay, Kevin Reilly, Jaime Stein, Preston Worsham and Alex Zamudio Graduate City Planning Evan Dublin of Undergraduate Industrial Design submitted a set of 3 environmentally minded products, beginning with MAVE: a root targeted drip irrigation system, Eco Coloring Cards an interaction between art and nature and Green Army, recruits for greener landscapes! The School of Architecture is represented by two stunning entries: The Graduate School's Comprehensive Architectural Project Studio & Integrated Building Systems class submitted their Community Natatorium. This program represented a range of challenges, including design for both humid and dry climates, responding to the needs of interior and exterior wet environments, and designing structures to accommodate both large and small spans. The Studio emphasized the use of local topographies, environments, social and economic histories, means and methods as a source for constructing the project design. The students were given flexibility to adjust the ratio of outdoor and indoor space in response to local climatic conditions. The studio was divided into 4 climatic regions; Designing for Colorado Springs, Colorado were graduate students; Lars Berg, Jennifer Hardy and Daniel Ramirez Seattle, Washington Sheila Charm, Chie Fuyuki, Alex Soss-Djekic Sydney, Australia Francis Bitonti, Severn Clay, Brian Osborn Santa Monica, California Liam Ahern, Raphael Alba, Benjamin Keiser Graduate Architecture student Sian Yew Lian entered with a Generative Wind Component. A stunning structure meant to harness wind energy. The Undergraduate School of Architecture entry is Crisis Fronts a collaborative work by: Katie Adee, James Balduf, Asta Fivgas, Natasha Harper, Randall Hornung, Irene Huang, Jung Hyuck, Dimitris Kaprinis, Yohan Kim and Paul Stein. Crisis Fronts examines the contribution of architecture to global climate change....."Projected further into the future, architecture and weather may longer be simply distinguishable from one another and architecture must be equipped to perform as its own environmental system, reinforcing rather than denying its capacity to enter into a dynamic exchange of energies with the climate. Such a meteorological approach has the potential to redefine the material, organizational, programmatic and performative dimensions of architecture." Undergraduate Architecture student Brendan SheeHan designed a poster for the exhibit, entitled Sustainability as Context From the Department of interior Design come four exciting entries... Robert Panko designs with sustainable materials and living wall components in his Integrative Healing Center and Maya Visitor Center a collaborative effort with fellow student Louis Tzu-Chen. Graduate Interior Design Students were challenged to design a space for ToySource, a sustainable toy store for all ages in Brooklyn. Hallie Trattner, Yoshiko Iobe and Eileen Diaz focus on garnering LEED points while creating a fluid interior landscape. Andrea Ferrer, Susan Lam and Kristen L'esperance examine the social context of sustainable design in their ToySource design. From the Urban Design Program, Graduate Students Melissa Schroder, Margot Walker, and Juliana Zambrano examine the challenges in planning for a carbon neutral city, in THIS IS NOT GARBAGE. This entry challenges the entire concept of "waste" and the infrastructure designed to "manage" it. The film was created to disseminate educational information concerning an integrated neighborhood-scale materials reuse and recovery program. While Kurt Altschul, Sergio Espriella and Sanksshep Mahendra propose ways to mitigate the heat island effect in their film ENViHarlem: A New Landscape From the Department of City and Regional Planning: Annie Clark suggests ways to mitigate storm water run off and implement storm water management practices on Pratt's Campus. Sustainable Development Studio students; Miyuki Fujibayashi, William Mackay, Kevin Reilly, Jaime Stein, Preston Worsham and Alex Zamudio propose a comprehensive sustainability plan for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Focusing on the Navy Yard's reliance on automobiles for transportation of employees and products. The group proposes a combination of Bus Rapid Transit Lines and Bicycle sharing to bring the Navy Yard from Isolation to Circulation  COMMENTS Post a Comment
