EVENT: Manufactured Surfaces Exhibition

Manufactured Surfaces Exhibition
Three Pratt Institute Sponsored Research Studios for Sustainable Architecture and Design

Containing work from the studios of Richard Sarrach, Lonn Combs + Mark Parsons, Anthony Caradonna + Francine Monaco

OPENING & RECEPTION
TUESDAY MAY 20, 6-9PM.
PRATT MANHATTAN GALLERY
144 WEST 14TH STREET, 2ND FLOOR

“Manufactured Surfaces” is an exhibition of design research that represents a unique collaboration between Pratt Institute and three progressive corporations that make architectural products and materials. Each corporation is partnered with a design studio comprised of architecture and interior design students. The intention of their research is to transform the character and performance of a particular product into something completely new that draws upon recycled material sources, enhances the sustainable qualities of buildings and spaces, and is adaptable to new geometries that respond to natural light. The work in these studios, while experimental in nature, is applied research that results in full-scale design-build proposals or achievable deployment strategies. These studios present a magically new and exciting direction in design research and education, made possible by the imagination and generosity of the sponsors and their faith in the creativity of our students.
