From toothbrushes to jumbo jets, from cameras to computers, teachers and students at Pratt together explore, challenge, and re-define the forms and inventions with which we live. At Pratt, abstraction and pragmatism coexist. Common design abstractions include line, plane, color, form, structure, and volume. To these we add the principles of accessibility, responsibility, and enlightenment.
Accessibility underscores everyone's right to access everything all the time.
Each student is assigned a personal work station. Assignments revolve around problem solving, both in teams and individually.
