About the database

We are currently creating a searchable database and archive of environmental research produced at Pratt’s School of Architecture (and across Pratt Institute) over the past 10 years. Initially this will be an internal tool to facilitate locating recent Pratt student work on climate justice, design for climate change, inclusivity, and ecology. With the support of ITL for back and front end design, we are currently focused on data collection. Data collection is a challenge because of the dispersed, diverse and siloed nature of this work across Pratt.

First steps require:

  • 1. Identifying faculty invested in this topic across Pratt,

  • 2. Listing the terms by which this research can be categorized, and

  • 3. Locating and archiving the student work in an accessible online drive.

Longterm Goals

This database will be a useful resource to those conducting research at Pratt, including students, faculty, and other collaborators.
