This exhibition features the work from 13 courses at Pratt Institute, all of which responded to Superstorm Sandy. The work chronicles a multi-year program of coordinated planning and architectural studios/urban labs, workshops and conferences that were initiated by Pratt Institute’s Programs for Sustainable Planning and Development (PSPD) and called “Recovery, Adaptation, Mitigation and Planning [RAMP].”
Oversized plywood panels like those used by NYC residents to board up their houses during Superstorm Sandy filled the exhibition space. Most panels featured a summary of the work carried out in one particular course, while other panels were designed to summarize the exhibition or to prompt visitors to respond to the exhibition content.
Students and faculty that we part of the RAMP initiative worked closely with community partners/clients to develop plans and strategies for rebuilding and adaptation.
