Summary/Abstract: The aim of the exhibition is to present a selection of architecture design work done by students in their final year at the Pratt Institute – USA. For students in their 5th year , the project is a means to articulate independent positions relating to study subjects of their choosing. The architectural relevant position entails critical thinking, innovation and communication, a fact richly illustrated by the projects exhibited. Such a enquiry could treat one or several aspects of material architectural production and lead to new formal and programmatic interpretations of social, administrative and public programs (public buildings and spaces). These research projects combine the work of two parallel design studios – drawings, required for reviews, and written essays – presented in the final Project. Each form of representation serves a dual purpose: to collect specific information, relevant to the study subject of each student, and to critically interpret the data in drawings, sketches, models and essays. The students take on the responsibility of defining a study subject as well as the architecture program derived from it.
