Congratulations Jingwen Zhang MFA'26!
Vote now for Jingwen's project Between Boundaries, on Arts Thread Global Creative Graduate Showcase Shortlist!
Link in bio.
This thesis reimagines the boundaries between facades, sidewalks, and buildings as negotiable threshold spaces that support everyday occupation, social interaction, and belonging. Focusing on Broadway, the project proposes a rule-based spatial framework that allows landlords and businesses to adapt and reinterpret street edges through variations in form, material, and program. Rather than prescribing fixed outcomes, the system enables boundaries to expand, contract, connect, and overlap in response to changing activities and needs. By transforming in-between spaces into active sites of encounter and participation, the project explores how pedestrians can reclaim the street as a place of memory, community, and shared urban life.

The Lo Chair by Shih-Hsuan Lo, MFA 26, was shortlisted for Buildner’s The Architect’s Chair competition

INTstudent - Shih-Hsuan Lo .lo .dwg - MFA 26

The chair was designed and fabricated during the exchange program at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS) in Copenhagen. DIS is an annual curriculum that provides a comprehensive exploration of Scandinavian design. The program is led by faculty from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Copenhagen Design School, who provide expert instruction throughout the intensive session. Shih-Hsuan described his experience at the DIS program as “truly an unforgettable summer of growth.”

DIS program coordinator: Robert Nassar
DIS course instructor: Peter Johansen and Åsa Johansson

INTalumni - Rasksha Sanikam (MFA'25), New York-based designer shared how her education and experience at Pratt helped her prepare to launch House of Santal.

House of Santal is a first-of-its-kind contemporary design space dedicated to South Asian craftsmanship, via a physical gallery and an online platform for discovery. Guided by a deep reverence for the heritage of skilled artisans of South Asia, it brings the region’s most compelling voices—both established and emerging—to the forefront of the international design stage. Sanikam’s vision is both ambitious and overdue: to champion the present-day designers, studios, and master artisans whose work has shaped global design culture, yet whose authorship has remained largely unrecognized in the United States.

House of Santal’s curatorial perspective is rooted in process, provenance, and authorship, highlighting both collectible works and exceptionally crafted design objects. Through exhibitions, commissions, and cultural programming, House of Santal creates new pathways for exchange between South Asia and the international design stage. Its physical gallery and online platform offer collectors, architects, and design patrons access to distinctive works, ranging from limited-edition and made-to-order pieces to thoughtfully designed objects defined by quality, materiality, and intent.

DIFFA GALA Installation - 2026

We are pleased to share our installation for DIFFA gala 2026.
Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) raises awareness and grants funds to not only HIV/AIDS but also broader health and social issues. This year’s fundraising gala, themed “Angels & Demons”, was held on the evening of March 19 at Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

The concept of the installation: Reflections and Duality
This installation acts as a reflection of one's perceptions of angels and demons, and their inseparable duality. Here, the fragility of moral oppositions are exposed; untouched they appear distinct but when confronted they bleed into each other.

Jon Otis

Congratulations to Alvin You, BFA 26, the recipient of the 2025 Gensler Brinkmann Scholarship! He shares the scholarship-winning project and his personal design philosophy in this post.
Growing up in Vancouver, studying in New York, and spending summers in China, Alvin had the chance to experience many cities and cultures. Seeing how design can influence people and how those experiences can live with us for a long time, Alvin decided to create spaces that leave an impression, and quietly stay with people long after they’ve left them.

We are excited to share Alvin’s story. Full article and video in bio.
