Last week, students and staff from the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment (GCPE) @prattgcpe took a trip to the @streetlab warehouse in Redhook to learn about their exciting work and play with their modular street furniture! Led by Leslie Davol, we built one very long table together - an exercise in collaboration that showed how simple design can bring people together. We brought snacks and spent some time eating, talking, and enjoying the space we created!

This Pratt Earth Action Week (coordinated by the Pratt Sustainability Center), join Pratt’s Sustainable Environmental Systems program and its Microclimate Assessment for Urban Design class for a participatory walk in North Brooklyn, to uncover relationships between design, microclimate, heat, and health. NYC summers are already hot and getting hotter; it is imperative that we design cities that are livable for everyone. Join North Brooklyn Parks Alliance and Pratt Institute’s MS in Sustainable Environmental Systems program to discover how city features—from the material used to pave a street to the paint color chosen for a wall—impact the microclimates we experience on just one neighborhood block. On this guided walk in and around McGolrick Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, we will measure and sense urban heat perceptions and reflect on how to design a habitable city for human and non-human residents. We will also explore how McGolrick Park’s tree canopy can support community wellbeing now and in the future. Participants will gain hands-on experience with thermal comfort assessment techniques. Tuesday, April 7th 12:00pm-2:30pm EDT Msgr. McGolrick Park Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY Registration required via the link in bio! This walkshop is references the work of a Taconic Fellowship grant from the Pratt Center for Community Development.
