del.icio.usThis funky building is Pratt Institute’s new $11.9-million design center featuring environmentally friendly design elements and a venue for video art.
Tom Hanrahan, the dean of Pratt’s School of Architecture, designed the pavilion with a “green” ventilation system that allows cool air to enter the building through the north window (pictured above, from the front and from the side), and hot air to rise out through the southern courtyard. The northern exposure will also be used as a canvas on which to project art.
Situated on the DeKalb Avenue edge of the Clinton Hill campus, the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center is named for an alumna who doled out $5 million for the project. It was formally unveiled on April 17.
