Any questions that you have may be directed to the instructor at shavens88@yahoo.com • F 9:30 AM–12:30 PM 10 sessions May 24–Jul 26 Sue Havens PMDA 105 3.0 C.E.U.s $395

Design Basic Typography This course is an introduction to the potential and expressive qualities of typography. Designers will be exposed to the elements of basic typography.

A strong emphasis will be placed on the use of typography and its relationship to illustration and photography.

This studio course uses both computer and hands-on methods to address the language of type and its effective use.

“Real-life” assignments will be given such as logos/stationery, book jackets, posters, CD packaging, brochures, and editorial. All aspects of the design assignment will be addressed, from concept through presentation. Special emphasis will be placed on choosing more appropriate and effective typefaces. The type should “TALK.” A relationship between the elements and the type to be established throughout the design process is the key point.

Through discussion and critiques, designers will develop a series of typographical solutions from rough ideas to final presentation. Assignments vary each semester.

Topics include: appreciation of the importance of typography in visual communication. Basic historical type families will be discussed and choosing a right typeface for a particular project.

To recognize, evaluate and think critically about typography will be stressed.

To explore the expressive possibilities of typography and develop an individual approach will be emphasized. In the design development stage, tracing pad and markers are required for the sketching of ideas, which will be used as guidelines for execution towards the final project on the computer.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and InDesign is a must.

Editorial Design This course will explore the possibilities of redesigning an existing poorly designed magazine or the option of creating a new magazine. (The class chooses the category.) Everyone will refine his or her knowledge to package the entire editorial concept in a graphic style through a vigorous design process. While our focus will be on magazines, the skills developed in creating continuity and variety in the project will apply to all pagination design venues.

While presenting information in context to appropriate formats, the magazine assignment can also be applicable to other common design tasks—newspapers, brochures, and books. Weekly critiques will consider every element of each page until a cohesive product is achieved that both suits the content of the editorial area chosen and appeals to the target audience. Typography, layout, illustration, photography, grids, rubrics, white space, etc., will all become familiar elements in your editorial design vocabulary.

Topics include: mastheads, magazine cover with visual concept and main cover titles, content page(s) are essential, and a feature story editorial spread will be explored. There will be continuing development of computer design skills in drawing, page layout, and image manipulation using appropriate software. Emphasis will be on design and not on software. The project will encompass thumbnail roughs to final comprehensive sketches. Upon approval of final sketches, designers will continue to execute on the computer. Designers are expected to have the necessary computer skills to develop and complete the project.

Prerequisites: A working knowledge of

Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. You must have access to a computer.

Graphic Design Ideas to Form Despite their best intentions (and even after years of practice), many designers harbor an underlying fear of beginning a project. Engaging in techniques that activate the creativity inside us will broaden design thinking and eliminate the fear. There are clear strategies for finding ideas and unleashing creativity.

These “thought starters” allow us to take an active role in our own creative process. Learn the many ways to spark your creative energy that have nothing to do with anxiety about deadlines.

Look forward to the whole process of getting started on something new by understanding the language and coordinates of professional graphic design.

A set of coordinated design exercises and projects, in-depth discussions, and brainstorming sessions to deepen your capacity and take your work to a new level. You will understand what it means to find an intellectual idea, and learn how to use supportive form (shape, composition, typography, and structure). Your inhibitions to creativity will crumble as design becomes a positive and exciting experience. Any lingering anxiety about what to do is quickly replaced with anticipation for the challenge of the new project. After all, this is why we chose to become designers in the first place, isn’t it?

Topics include: contemporary graphic design; how to research a graphic design project; methods to enhance creativity; procedures toward developing design ideas including the montage process; conveying ideas through typography and module structure; and visual coding through textures and treatments. Software knowledge is based on the Adobe triptych (InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator) with some basic instruction on their application.

Projects include traditional and nontraditional problems that will hone and enhance the graphic design language you speak with.

Prerequisites: Working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.

Fine Arts Acrylic and Watercolor Painting Mastery: This is not the usual paintthe-model class, though you can have a model if you wish. All your questions about how you do it can be answered in this class. What is the simplest and most permanent fine art painting technique? You are not supposed to copy a model or still life exactly, so what are you supposed to do? Why is keeping a sketchbook so important? What are the different approaches to starting a painting and which is the most effective for your personality? What are the graphic art techniques that can be useful in fine art painting? And yes, what about the unthinkable: how might you consider sales in relation to your painting? What you don’t want is generalized comments; what you do want is a teacher who works with you on all your specific problems, one after the other. The teacher opens the door, but you must enter alone. Then the teacher opens another door, and again you enter alone. Imagine a long hallway of open doors with the satisfied student at the end of it, all smiles and master of the subject. See the teacher, exhausted but happy.

Topics include: working with photographs, paint abstractly or incorporate cartoon influences. During the week, work with your trusty sketchbook toward a compositional drawing you can develop into a painting.

Charcoal: The Willow Branch Speaks Using the simple, flexible, and beautiful medium of charcoal, you will begin to see more deeply and feel the potential of this medium. Learning to draw and how to achieve enhanced seeing makes one a more creative, whole-brain thinker, unlocking creativity through connecting mind, eye, and hand. In this class, drawing is rooted in an exploration of our seeing, both literal and figurative. This process takes on a contemplative character as the eye and hand travel the shapes, values, lines, and color of a given interior or exterior landscape, and the focus is less on the end as it is on what each present moment offers to the eye and the heart. Your path in class will be built on your previous explorations and insights.

Topics include: learn how to draw more out of that which seems familiar, experiencing the depths of the world observed closely and felt intimately. The excitement lies not only in discovering what is before our eyes and revealing and expressing this through drawing, but also recognizing its relevance to all forms of study and exploration and its potential to shed light on life, humanity, and nature.

Recommended audience: Students of all levels and walks of life are welcome.

The course is designed to allow for individualized attention within the group setting.

Drawing and Art Workshop: Europe’s Masterpieces at the Cloisters, Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA In this unique five-week studio workshop at three major museums you will explore the historical influence of Western art and civilization from 12thcentury Medievalism through to the Renaissance and other movements on the aesthetic vitality of modern and contemporary 20th-century art. Through the medium of drawing, the class will embark on an analytical survey of specific works at: the Tuscan monastery on the Hudson, the Cloisters, a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Metropolitan Museum; and the MoMA. You will freely explore and creatively interpret the historically complex visual interrelationship where, regardless of era and -ism, artists pursued the common thread of knowledge, finding inspiration and a personal, creative expression, “reintroducing fragments of reality of the past,” as Roy Lichentstein noted.

Using graphite, lithograph, Sharpie, crayons, pencils, and small spiral sketchpads, students will dissect a painting, tapestry, and/or sculpture to discover how artists expressively and dramatically structured one-, two-, and three-dimensional space. You will learn spatial conceits, form, tone, movement, chiaroscuro, and texture through exam-

ples and the practice of various linear techniques and methodology to visually communicate a specific message.

Emphasis is on intellectual, societal, cultural, political, and emotional studies from Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Salvador Dali, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Thomas Eakins, Sargent, Norman Rockwell, Modigliani, Jackson Pollack, Rivera, and De Kooning.

Topics include: how modern and contemporary art relates to the past with examples of relationships, from Piero della Francesca to Francisco Goya to Arshile Gorky.

Please note the following: Students will bring drawing materials, watercolor trays, pen and ink, and sketchpads, including newsprint pads, for class use.

Also, please bring laptops if available.

Three Dimensional Design I The goal of this hands-on course is to provide students with a solid foundation of the basic three dimensional design elements so that they know how to design in space, understand the relationships between things, and can orchestrate them utilizing the x, y, and z axes, proportion, scale, negative and positive space, tension, and movement.

Other goals are to give students an introduction to a variety of materials and working processes to know how to make things and be adept in creating objects that are well crafted and thought out. This course teaches the basics of three-dimensional design.

We focus on the primary elements of design, giving time to each element, so that the design process will be understood no matter what major field of study you choose to enter into or are involved in. We focus on line, plane, volume, color, and texture with a hands-on approach, exploring as many materials and processes as possible.

We focus on the x, y, and z axes, space, proportion, scale, tension, symmetry/ asymmetry, content, and meaning with attention to craftsmanship and detailing and the physical process of putting things together.

Topics include: curve study, working with line, negative and positive space, seeing how lines define planes and also volume; plane study, working with the fibonacci numbers to determine proportion and designing a progression of planes that combine to make volume; volume study, working with solids that combine to make a composition, studying the x, y, and z axes; working with either painted or collaged color on form and using color as a design element and material; and texture study, using texture to change and enhance form, create light and dark. There are lectures about the assignment and demonstrations as to how to use the tools necessary to complete the project. During the class the professor speaks with you to give feedback and suggestions.

Requirements: Students are required to have a sketchbook and to work with drawing in conjunction with their three dimensional design work.

In this unique five-week studio workshop at three major museums you will explore the historical influence of Western art and civilization from 12thcentury Medievalism through to the Renaissance and other movements on the aesthetic vitality of modern and contemporary 20th-century art.

Through the medium of drawing, the class will embark on an analytical survey of specific works at: the Tuscan monastery on the Hudson, the Cloisters, a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Metropolitan Museum; and MoMA. You will freely explore and creatively interpret the historically complex visual interrelationship where, regardless of era and -ism, artists pursued the common thread of knowledge, finding inspiration and a personal, creative expression, “reintroducing fragments of reality of the past,” as Roy Lichentstein noted.

Using graphite, lithograph, Sharpie, crayons, pencils, and small spiral sketchpads, students will dissect a painting, tapestry, and/or sculpture to discover how artists expressively and dramatically structured one-, two-, and three-dimensional space.

You will learn spatial conceits, form, tone, movement, chiaroscuro, and texture through examples and the practice of various linear techniques and methodology to visually communicate a specific message. Emphasis is on intellectual, societal, cultural, political, and emotional studies from Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, Edgar Degas, Salvador Dali, Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Thomas Eakins, Sargent, Norman Rockwell, Modigliani, Jackson Pollack, Rivera, and De Kooning.

Topics include: how modern and contemporary art relates to the past with examples of relationships, from Piero della Francesca to Francisco Goya to Arshile Gorky.

Please note the following: Students will bring drawing materials, watercolor trays, pen and ink, and sketchpads, including newsprint pads, for class use. Also, please bring your laptops if available.

The aim of this course is to open up the study and practice of architecture to anyone with architectural appreciation or interest, whether hobbyist or professional. We will apply an architectural lens onto the built environment within the notions of what affects it. From its larger sense to its smallest detail, architecture—which includes more than buildings—will be scanned, analyzed, and developed. Processes and the architect’s tools will be explored.

Projects will claim the economy and ecology of the environment and architectural thought, allowing for one to analyze the built environment while simultaneously creating it.

A very “high-tech” mode of ideas can be applied within a low-tech mode of execution.

Topics include: drawing, model building, visual representation, lectures, the conceptual and visual development of projects, and portfolio development.

Participants will keep a seminar notebook, participate in class discussions, keep up with assigned readings, and prepare their own presentation formulated as a case study.

ANIMATION Pratt Manhattan offers varied approaches to animation and motion-based media. We offer courses that deal with traditional animation and design as well as those that provide technical training in digital animation.

Traditional Animation I Animation is possibly the most versatile art form, since anything that can be seen can be made to move through animation, whether it’s 3D or flat, realistic or abstract. This studio course focuses on drawn animation, starting with simple flipbooks and working up to fuller character-style animation.

Computer animation students will find that working in traditional animation and creating each frame by hand will give them a more instinctive understanding of animation timing.

Topics include: timing and motion charts, key-framing and in-betweening, straight-ahead animation, gestures and posing, anticipation and reaction, overlapping motion, squash, and stretch.

Prerequisite: Basic Drawing or Basic Drawing for Animation.

Home Inspection Courses and Reciprocity All ten (10) courses taught by Dale Paegelow at Pratt CCPS are AIA approved for continuing education. No matter what state you live in, you will earn credit as a licensed architect or engineer by taking continuing education courses. But what if you also practice Home Inspection under your license as an architect or engineer in the State of New York or the State of Connecticut or State of New York? All of Dale Paegelow’s courses have reciprocity with Connecticut for licensed Home Inspectors, Architects, and Engineers, and are approved by the State of New York, as well, for licensed Home Inspectors. For example, you can take Residential Electrical Systems and How to Evaluate Them Holistically at Pratt and receive AIA credit in any state (say New York), PLUS you can submit your transcript to Connecticut and the State of New York and earn continuing education credits toward your Home Inspection licensing requirements in these states. You have attended one course and received credit from two states. This is also true for Home Inspection National Organizations such as ASHI or Inter-NACHI. Thus completion of one of Dale Paegelow’s courses will earn LU/PDH credit in three places: New York, Connecticut, and ASHI.

Accessible Design and Construction Requirements of the Fair Housing Act: Are You Covered?

The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, among other federal accessibility laws, requires that newly constructed multifamily residential buildings be designed and constructed to provide access to people with disabilities. A violation of these federal laws perpetuates discriminatory housing practices.

This presentation will showcase lessons learned as a result of the presenter’s real-world experience as the fair housing expert for the plaintiff’s attorneys in the largest case filed to date against a top five REIT for widespread national fair housing violations.

Topics include: an overview of federal accessibility laws and the scoping requirements of the Fair Housing Amendments Act, an overview of REGISTER ONLINE: my.pratt.edu

the safe harbors for Fair Housing Compliance, detailed discussion of the seven design and construction requirements of the Fair Housing Act. Case studies of common violations and solutions to typical design and construction oversights that often lead to violations.

Accessible Design and Construction Requirement: Section 504 of the Rehab Act as They Apply to HUDFunded Projects Federally funded design and construction triggers the requirements of Section 504 of the Rehab Act of 1973, an often misunderstood federal accessibility law which seeks to prevent discrimination, based on disability, under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. Learn how to apply the scoping provisions of the law and the requirements of its referenced technical criteria, the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), to federally funded multifamily housing projects.

Topics include: an overview of federal accessibility laws and the scoping requirements of Section 504 of Rehabilitation Act (Section 504) and a detailed discussion on the technical requirements of the Uniform Accessibility Standards (UFAS). Case studies illustrating common violations and solutions will be presented.

Accessibility and its Relationship to Sustainable Design Buildings that are not accessible are not sustainable. Settlements and other legal agreements reached between developers and the courts have resulted in the substantial renovation of newly constructed buildings to incorporate legally required accessibility. If a newly constructed sustainable building must be substantially renovated to incorporate accessibility, how truly sustainable is it? The financial benefits which result from incentive programs for sustainable development mean nothing when compared to the potentially extreme cost to substantially renovate buildings which fail to incorporate legally required

accessible design and construction.

This presentation will focus on helping to ensure legally required accessibility compliance during design development and construction to produce a truly sustainable project.

Topics include: a brief overview of accessibility laws, codes, and standards; a review of the LEED for Homes Approved ID Request for Visitability and Universal Design and the LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) Visitability and Universal Design Credit, a discussion of materials, products, and methods which comply both with the accessibility requirements and the goals of sustainability, and case studies of project examples.

Adaptive Reuse Re-Imagined An existing structure presents many opportunities and many challenges.

Architects are sometimes reluctant to use the existing infrastructure, hesitant to assume responsibility for unforeseen conditions or they do not recognize the valuable resource they have. It is vitally important to understand what is possible given new technologies. Part of the challenge is to discover hidden features of a property to both preserve and improve the facility by applying creativity and taking the care necessary to envision the end product. This course examines the conceptual underpinnings as well as the methods, materials, and process of reconstructing and adding to an older building.

Topics include: survey existing conditions, code and zoning, planning for preservation (old vs. new), building charm and interest, the permitting process, the construction process, and case studies.

Analysis of Continuous Spanned Beams I A popular choice for the analysis of continuous beams later to be used in computer programs solutions has been a classical method, known as the force method in the structural engineering community among engineers and architects. This method had become

the engineer’s tool for designing continuous beams and was deservedly recognized as the alternative method to that of moment distribution established by Hardy Cross. The seminar gives a detailed overview of designing long-spanned continuous beams providing the engineer-architect with the geometric and physical properties of the beam rendering a more effective solution to the design as well.

Topics include: structural engineering principles: virtual work, bending of a beam segment, angle changes along a beam, moment area method, reciprocal relations along a beam, moment distribution; layout and solution of the n linear equations of the continuous beam’s geometry to its nth degree of indeterminate forces. From the solution, a pictorial diagram will show the beam’s structural response to the loads acting upon it.

Analysis of Continuous Spanned Beams II Established in long usage for the structural analysis of continuous beams, later to be implemented in computer program solutions, the classical method known as the displacement method is today’s selected mechanism for the design of continuous beams, the alternative to both that of the force method and moment distribution as well. This seminar will give an in-depth view of an easier and more effective solution for continuous beams than that of the force method.

Topics include: theory of angle changes along a beam; moment area method; stiffness factors for structural elements; displacement method description; linear equations for rotations; moment distribution; and moment diagram for the structural continuous beam.

An American Revolution: The Invention of Balloon Framing and The History of Wood Frame Architecture in America We survey the last 400 years of wood framing in this country with a particular emphasis on vernacular domestic architecture. Starting with the house building methods the colonists brought with them, we look at how Americans began to take advantage of the sumptuous supplies of timber here. The course identifies particular styles of design that begin to emerge such as Greek Revival and Federal. We focus on the remarkable and little-known story of the invention of Balloon Framing.

This caught on rapidly and moved West over the course of the next 50 years, abetting the occupation of the Western Territories. Balloon framing also fed our avid interest in a wide range of house styles, making the variety of American houses the most diverse in the world.

Carpenter Gothic, Stick Style, Eastlake, Queen Anne, Second Empire and Shingle Style all emerged from this invention. This seminar ends with a discussion about the future of domestic construction methods.

Architectural Acoustic and Noise Control This seminar is intended for planners, architects, engineers, interior designers, facilities managers, and construction personnel who wish to raise their awareness, sensitivity, and technical knowledge of architectural acoustics, noise control, and the related regulations. Though related regulations have existed and been refined over four decades, serious attention is finally being paid to acoustics and noise pollution, as awareness increases about the negative impact of noise and poor acoustics to human comfort, health, safety, and welfare, and how they contribute to irritability, reduced workplace productivity, sleeplessness, anxiety, exacerbation of learning and

hearing disabilities. It makes practical sense that good acoustics and effective noise control be incorporated as determinants in the planning and the design considerations for projects. As an important frontline consideration for government funding of projects, facilities acquisition and construction, noise control and abatement have become critical determinants for proceeding with such project funding, and the impact of noise pollution is also a critical component of environmental site assessment for facilities development.

However, the reality is that acoustic and noise control are often overlooked.

Topics include: introduction and general information; properties and characteristics of sound wave and noise; standards and regulations; occupational standards for noise control; indoor acoustics and noise control; and outdoor noise and abatement.

Architectural Restoration: Motivators and Constraints to the Preservation of Older Structures This course addresses generating and controlling projects involving architectural restoration, which accounts for a significant portion of all construction.

The role of the architect in such projects is pivotal; a pro-active architect with a comprehensive understanding of restoration principals can be instrumental in its success, and can also play a significant role in facilitating these projects. Technical expertise must cover an extremely broad range of knowledge. The architect must be thoroughly familiar, not only with current codes and construction methods, but those of the past as well. The role of the architect in program development, administrative issues and approvals, the technical aspects of restoration, and financial considerations will be explored in depth. Restoration often involves adaptive reuse or historic preservation, as well as broader planning issues. Beyond the technical and administrative constraints, understanding, identifying, and satisfying funding sources can determine whether a project is undertaken. The architect’s role in the funding process will also be discussed in depth.

Topics include: motivators for restoration; dealing with municipal authorities, funding sources and contractors;

selecting and sourcing materials; developing method of construction; dealing with specific issues; construction costs and budgeting: the architect’s role and responsibilities; the study of a representative cross-section of projects demonstrating various types (residential single family, multi-family, commercial, municipal); program requirements (adaptive reuse, alteration/addition, pure restoration, historic preservation), and architectural styles.

Basics of Building Performance with Case Studies The objective of the introductory course is to aid architects, engineers, real property appraisers, realtors, and assessors in the recognition and understanding of building performance components and systems. To date, there has been little empirical data organized by appraisers or realtors in regard to building performance, especially energy efficiency items and property design and development aspects. As a result, the contribution to market value of such items is difficult to determine. Before appraisers can measure how the market indicates the contributory value of efficient design, development, and component systems, appraisers must be able to recognize and store data to identify and track their influences on value.

Topics include: construction components and high-performance installations of: building envelope, insulation, lighting, thermostats, windows and doors, UV protection technologies, R Values, and ventilation components and systems. Understanding heating and cooling systems, including furnaces, hot water heaters, and air conditioners, traditional and new high-performance options including: solar power systems— photovoltaic, hot water; geothermal options—open loop, closed loop; and heat distribution systems.

Recommended audience: The primary target audience is architects, engineers, real property appraisers, realtors and assessors seeking continuing education. The course is designed so that it could also have an audience of realtors, building inspectors, and municipality employees who seek training in building performance and sustainability concepts.

In combination with the region’s transit systems and intercity rail systems, the region’s expressways and parkways provide the essential network for mobility of people and goods in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan Area. This arterial highway system directly moves people in buses, taxis, HOVs, and automobiles, and gives access to the other “people modes,” such as bicycle, rapid transit (bus or rail), ferry, etc. Along with freight rail lines, the expressways also move the vast quantities of goods that support the region’s economy. Unlike many other areas, the New York-New Jersey region’s arterial highway system, including its key bridge and tunnel links, is provided by a multiplicity of governments and authorities, in both states. The roles of the agencies and organizations involved have undergone many changes over the past 100 years, the period within which the present network developed.

This course will review that development, focusing particularly on the period from the 1930s through the present.

It will examine key influences and “influencers,” system milestones, points of controversy, current system status, and the outlook for the future. The course will also present and analyze past, current, and emerging concepts for policy, planning, design and operations of the arterial highway system.

Drainage and Hydrology in NYC The introductory course in our Urban Green Infrastructure Fundamentals series. This seminar is intended for contractors, planners, engineers, architects, landscape architects, construction

managers, and green infrastructure enthusiasts who seek New York City– specific information regarding the natural and infrastructural systems influencing the design, construction, and maintenance of urban green infrastructure. For this seminar “green infrastructure” will refer to the use of green roofs, walls, parks, expanded roadside plantings, porous pavements, and other innovative technologies that allow for rainwater to seep into soils and be taken up by plants rather than being funneled off to overwhelm our sewer systems and trigger combined sewer overflows (CSOs). New York City struggles with nearly 30 billion gallons per year of CSO events. Green infrastructure treats rainwater as a resource rather than a waste. It offers a cost-effective solution to mitigating the city’s sewer overflow problems.

Learning from current green infrastructure professionals, students will gain an understanding of NYC’s unique water management infrastructure and natural systems that influence green infrastructure implementation.

Topics include: NYC’s watershed and sewer shed fragmentation and connectivity; hydrology of NYC including discussion of hydrographs, groundwater, water flow, percolation, and run-off; geology of NYC; types of soils, soil conditions, function and specification; organizational chart of key players in green infrastructure implementation; NYC’s natural geography and its built environment boundaries that influence prioritization of green infrastructure; and site assessment.

nance with a focus in classrooms and lecture halls. It is well established that young children require optimal conditions for hearing, comprehension and sustainable attention-span suitable for learning, as different from adults who have mature focus and well-developed listening skills. The negative impact of poor acoustics is well established to create a barrier in pupils’ learning abilities, attention-span and speech intelligibility. Acoustical and noise control performance standard ANSI/ASA S12.602002 has existed for over a decade, yet a significant number of schools do not conform to the standard. Conformance to the standard is voluntary except made mandatory when referenced by or adopted in state laws, municipal ordinance or regulations. It is encouraging that some states, municipalities and school districts now have regulations which reference and/or have adopted the ANSI/ASA standard. In addition, it is important to bring more awareness to the existence of a useful guide to classroom accommodations under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). On a global basis, some countries have developed standards unique to their national conditions while others have adopted the World Health Organization (WHO) standards.

Topics include: general information, properties and characteristics of sound wave and noise; acoustical standards for classrooms and lecture halls; and architectural acoustics and noise control for classrooms and lecture halls.

Fire Protection Technology The role and function of fire protection engineering systems are sometimes overlooked during the initial stages of a project. Instead of identifying fire protection as a separate discipline, the systems are often treated as subsystems bundled into the mechanical and electrical engineering scope of services. As a result, key fire protection needs may be neglected at the critical planning stages of a construction project. Working the systems in at a later date may lead to a lack of properly sized shafts for fire protection risers, or a water supply that is inadequate to meet the plumbing and fire protection needs of the building.

Objective: To provide an overview of fire protection system technologies and their implications for building design and to help participants take full advantage of current fire protection technology. Its focus will be on the

state-of-the-art for fire suppression and fire alarm systems. Participants will leave understanding the concepts, strategies, and architectural requirements for the system types and have a hands-on experience with various sprinklers and fire alarm systems.

Green Versus Historic Preservation: Collaboration or Conflict?

With rising energy costs and climate change no longer a scientific guess, a renewed attention to the development of inner-city communities has become more commonplace. These urban core areas—once blighted—often contain the most historic building stock in most cities. This sets the backdrop for an emerging series of conflicts between preservation purists and newage environmentalists for potential battles to be played out at the local historic commissions, city halls, and local community boards. This seminar addresses the emerging challenges and conflicts of joining historic preservation with sustainable guidelines and offers ways to resolve them. The course demonstrates how building performance can be enhanced in older historic structures using an actual case study of the first 1890s USGBC LEED®-Platinum historic dwelling in the United States.

Topics include: an examination of basic historic preservation guidelines as espoused by the Standards of the US Secretary of the Interior (also NYC LPC, and Secretary’s model); an examination of the basic USGBC LEED® precepts guiding sustainable development/ design; and an examination of the underlying rationale why a fusion of historic and green guidelines presents numerous challenges and opportunities.

Greyfield Development — Unlocking the Doors to New Opportunities The American landscape is scarred with the remnants of postwar suburbanization, when waves of development surged from the historic city centers to the pristine suburbs. In the beginning there was simply Main Street; then the postwar decades introduced prototypes such as the mall, neighborhood center, strip centers, and finally the “big-box” one-stop shop.

These developments have continued to evolve in order to incorporate all the latest retailers, entertainment venues, restaurants, and community activities; resulting in a series of economically obsolete, failing, and/or underutilized buildings or land. These sites are commonly referred to as “greyfields.”

This course will explore what to do with these sites and how to make them viable environments for the future.

Topics include: patterns of development—the evolution; greyfields vs brownfields vs. green-fields; principles for redevelopment; tools for redevelopment; going green: site, parking, and building opportunities; case studies; and sketch problems.

Industrial Facilities Noise Control This seminar is intended for planners, architects, engineers, process engineering designers, facilities managers and construction personnel who wish to raise their awareness, sensitivity and technical knowledge of noise control, related facilities planning and regulatory considerations relevant to industrial workplace noise exposure.

Even with the existence of regulatory requirements, noise control is often given insufficient attention and serious considerations necessary to avoid very costly mitigation measures resulting from prolonged exposure to excessive noise pollution in industrial workplaces and facilities. Prolonged

exposure to excessive noise is an established hazard contributing to negative impact on human comfort, health, safety and welfare; in addition to cause for irritability, reduced workplace productivity, sleeplessness, anxiety, illness; potential healthrelated personnel claims. Operating industrial processes with excessive noise in a facility with poor noise control, particularly with human involvement, will very likely cause health issues with facility users, the involvement of OSHA, and may result in the imposition of very costly mitigation measures. It makes practical sense that effective noise control be incorporated as a determinant and critical consideration in the planning, design and operations of industrial facilities.

Topics include: general information, course outline and objectives; properties and characteristics of sound wave and noise; overview of standards and regulatory framework; occupational safety and protection standards for noise control; and industrial facilities noise control and protection systems.

Integrating Accessibility Accessibility for the disabled is not just the law, it is also good practice. It provides an opportunity to mainstream facilities components in a way that both the able and the not so able will find accessible. This is not always easily accomplished in new buildings, as existing spaces are usually more of a challenge to retrofit. This course examines ways in which the ADA and its variants can be creatively interpreted and used as guides to accomplishing universal accessibility. You will learn to meet the spirit of the law and not just see it a bothersome restriction imposed by the law.

Topics include: the law-existing, pro-

posed and exceptions; methods and technology; new and retrofitted facilities; and case studies. Particular attention is given to the new 2004 ADAAG and to the new 2008 New York City Building Code.

Integrating Interior Design Into Building Design: It’s Not Just Decorating With interior designers taking on far more responsibility than simply decorating, the architect’s role today in building design weighs more heavily on the design of the building “shell,” and less so on the articulation of interior space. This course will explore a variety of interior design strategies and concepts that the architect can employ during the design process to visually and functionally improve our interiors. With an emphasis on residential and light commercial spaces, this class will provide the professional with the resources, sharpened tools, and regained confidence to articulate, enhance, and maximize the functionality of our interior environments.

Topics include: the use and impact of architectural features such as soffits, openings, molding, and lighting as well as the exploration of basic design elements and principles such as color, texture, line, contrast, transparency, and reflection to define and embellish interior space. Course material will include the selection of code appropriate materials and finishes, interior products which affect energy efficiency, available resources for locating sustainable products, lighting solutions, the effective use of furniture templates, and the determination of spatial clearances. In addition, this class will explore the sophisticated skill set of the trained interior designer so the architect can best integrate this professional into the design process when he/she is available for the project.

New York City Accessibility Requirements: Workshop

New York City Commercial Energy Code

United Spinal Association’s New York City accessibility workshop will cover many important aspects of New York City accessible design for commercial and residential facilities. The course will begin with a focus on accessibility requirements, where attendees will gain an understanding of both federal and local laws, applicability, and pertinent reference standards. This portion of the program will emphasize information covering the new 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. The workshop will then detail construction requirements for new commercial and new residential kitchen and bathroom facilities. You will learn key technical requirements applicable to multiple-user toilet facilities, commercial single-use toilet facilities, public kitchens, residential kitchens, and residential bathrooms.

New York City accessible dwelling units, Type B dwelling units, Type A bathrooms, and Appendix P bathrooms will also be explained. In addition, attendees will discover the differences between local New York City requirements found in the building code and referenced by ICC ANSI A117.1; as compared to those requirements found in the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act. The class will finish by addressing existing facilities and the general requirements for alterations and additions. Participants will learn about requirements for such work including applicability of New York City Local Law 58.

Topics include: an in-depth review of federal accessibility requirements and a review of applicable federal laws that mandate accessibility (ADA, ABA, Section 504, Fair Housing); local accessibility requirements (2008 NYC Building Code); technical review of commercial kitchens and bathrooms; class exercise incorporating commercial kitchens/bathrooms key design elements; technical review of residential accessibility requirements for kitchens and bathrooms; class exercise incorporating residential kitchens/bathrooms key design elements; review of accessi-

This one-day seminar elaborates on the prescriptive compliance path of the NYC energy code. The presentation includes a review and analysis of the mechanical, envelope, and lighting/power requirements for commercial buildings. The course is based on selections of the code highlighted; explanations of the applicability of the section; and corresponding images of real-life building situations of both compliant and noncompliant constructions, as appropriate.

In order to enable greater compliance with the energy code, we will encourage a discussion around interpretations and applications of the code by addressing the building science and intent behind the code’s prescriptions. The presentation includes plenty of images, clearly prioritizing the content being conveyed.

Within each section of the code, there are numerous seemingly small issues (often only one sentence) that have a large impact. We will identify and discuss these points to ensure that you understand the full application of the code. The last section will be devoted to enforcement of the code to ensure compliance. Since the code is primarily a prescriptive code and the majority of projects will be able to readily comply, emphasis will be placed on the standard compliance path using COMcheck.

The performance-based Energy Cost Budget Method of ASHRAE 90.1 will be introduced as an alternate method of compliance.

Topics include: introduction to building energy consumption and ASHRAE 90.1; NYC commercial energy code for mechanical systems, envelope, lighting, and power systems; NYC energy code requirements and enforcement to ensure compliance, prescriptive compliance path using COMCheck, introduction to alternate performance-based compliance path using Energy Cost Budget Method of ASHRAE 90.1.

Noise Abatement and Control: Multi-Family Housing This seminar is intended for planners, architects, engineers, facilities managers and construction personnel to raise their sensitivities, understanding and technical knowledge of noise abatement and control, related standards and regulations for multi-family residential housing facilities development, planning, design and maintenance.

Prolonged exposure to noise pollution has a negative impact on human comfort, health, safety and welfare, and contributes to irritability, reduced workplace productivity, sleeplessness, anxiety and illness. With increased awareness of these adversities, considerations and actions are emerging for mitigated actions in various communities, municipalities, and metropolises.

Standards and regulations for noise control and noise exposure in housing vary and overlap because they originate from different cognizant organizations that establish the standards, metrics, and related controls for different noise sources. Major noise sources in many problem facilities include poor considerations for noise control within the facility during the planning, design and construction development stages, and include noise pollution encroachment from nearby developments such as roadways, airports and railroads, and/ or commercial and industrial facilities.

Significant regulatory framework for noise control in residential dwellings and multi-family housing is enforced by Housing and Urban Development (HUD), though it is not a cognizant organization. The Federal Government interests in FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a linkage with which HUD exercises regulatory oversight in the mortgage finance industry. With this linkage HUD has significant leverage in its enforcement responsibilities in technical support, insurance amount determination, and financial assistance for project facilities construction. HUD’s oversight reach is essentially based on the Noise Control Act (1972), the National Housing Act (1949), the National Environmental Policy Act (1969) with subsequent amendments and applicable statutes including 24 CFR Part 51.

Topics include: properties and characteristics of sound wave and noise; acoustical considerations and noise pollution evaluation for residential and housing developments; overview of regulatory considerations and standards; and acoustical and noise control systems for residential and housing

developments.

Offsite Fabrication for Housing No one really knows when humans started to prefabricate buildings.

Certainly nomadic herdsmen have engaged in a form of prefabrication for thousands of years, in that their tents have been made in a single place while being assembled repeatedly at different locations. Prefab started to enter the architect’s and engineer’s consciousness right along with the dawn of the Industrial Revolution and reached an early high point in Sir Joseph Paxton’s design for the Crystal Palace in London’s Hyde Park. This 1,850-ft.-long iron, glass and wood structure, with over 900,000 sq. ft. of glazing, was made in a factory and then erected on site in merely 17 weeks. But offsite fabrication in architecture in the 20th century had mostly a troublesome past, punctuated by some spectacular failures both financial and structural.

And while buildings remain for the most part site-built adventures, where ungainly raw supplies are cut down to size in all kinds of weather, other industries such as airplane and auto manufacturing have leaped forward with modern procurement, contractual and fabrication methods, and dry and predictable indoor conditions.

Nevertheless, things look very bright for the future of offsite fabrication for housing and similar applications.

Prefab dovetails nicely with the recent surge of concern for securing a green and sustainable future. This course will examine the various aspects of offsite fabrication with respect to how architects and developers can get involved.

Topics include: images of offsite fabrication from around the world; definition of terms and a short history of offsite fabrication; What is the nature of offsite fabrication in the UK vs. the USA? Why do prefabrication and why not? What are the components of a pre-fabricated building? What is the process of pre-fabricated construction?

What makes offsite fabrication really sing? How is offsite fabrication a green way forward?; Technical constraints particular to offsite; the nature of innovation; and case studies. The afternoon will be devoted to a hands-

on workshop where students will be asked to respond to a particular request from the public sector to solve a problem using offsite fabrication techniques.

Sustaining Mixed-income Housing The shift towards sustainable urban housing extends beyond energy efficiency, use of recycled materials, natural resource conservation, or transit-oriented development. The preservation of human resources and neighborhood ecosystems must also be considered in development and planning efforts. In cities where the high costs of shelter routinely displace residents, our practices must account for the economic, political, and physical sustainability of housing that supports diverse communities.

This seminar explores the role that policy, subsidy, design, maintenance, preservation, and right of tenure play in the sustaining of such housing and communities. In particular the seminar seeks to broaden the architect’s understanding of how multi-family housing programs function in New York City and explore how housing programs, housing policies, design issues, and architectural issues interact.

By analyzing the successes and failures of specific housing developments, we will identify overlapping themes and best practices. Within this framework the seminar will also explore multiple modes of architectural practice and intervention.

Topics include: preservation and reuse; housing subsidy programs and regulations; history, policy and theory of mixed-income housing development; design and architectural issues in mixed-income housing; residential rights of tenure; community-based design, architecture, and planning.

21st Century Performance from 19th Century Walls Old walls are masonry walls. These workhorses have multiple jobs to accomplish. They need to support the building, keep the rain out, and keep the outside and the inside apart. The 21st-century version of indoor comfort is a lot different than the 19th-century version, and as such the tasks the wall must accomplish are more difficult and more fraught with risk.

This presentation, suitable for single family homes or large buildings, will look at what we are asking of our masonry walls, and how they can be made to endure while providing better occupant comfort and energy efficiency. This class will cover moisture management, retrofit techniques, modeling for energy efficiency, repointing, and other retrofit strategies.

Topics include: how old structural masonry buildings work: keeping moisture out; understanding masonry materials; basics of occupant comfort and thermal mass; modeling old buildings to understand energy function; insulation, thermal bridging, and passive solar; working with contractors and incentives; and case studies.

Certificate Program in Urban Green Infrastructure: Green Systems Clean Water The permeability of our land and the quality of our surrounding water bodies are directly connected. Impermeable surfaces account for roughly 70% of New York City’s acreage; as such the runoff from these surfaces represents serious water quality and infrastructural challenges for the City. As the impacts of climate change bring more severe wet weather events to our shores, the need for innovative storm water management is paramount.

New York City’s move toward the implementation of green infrastructure to meet our national water quality standards represents both a tremendous teaching moment and an opportunity for workforce development. Training in standard designs, regulations, permitting, construction, monitoring, and maintenance of innovative tree pits, bioswales, green roofs, and green walls will be critical for successful implementation of green infrastructure citywide.

The certificate curriculum was formed in collaboration with the Pratt Graduate School of Architecture, several city agencies, members of the American Society of Landscape Architects New York Chapter, and private sector green infrastructure practitioners.

The term green infrastructure represents the ability of vegetation and other natural systems to capture and evapotranspire rainwater, treating rain as a resource rather than a waste.

Why Study Green Infrastructure at Pratt?

• Pratt Institute can uniquely convene the professional scientists, designers, and policy makers needed to transfer the leading edge professional skills, which, when applied in total, result in successful urban green infrastructure.

• Pratt can offer a wide range of continuing education units for a diverse range of disciplines.

• Pratt has been at the forefront of urban green infrastructure in New York. Our professional instructors represent city agencies, community based organizations, and private design firms. Our interdisciplinary approach to green infrastructure is surely what helped us win a 2012 NYC Environmental Protection Green Infrastructure grant.

• Pratt is an authorized provider with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Continuing Education System (AIA/CES), and the Landscape Architecture Continuing Education System (LA CES).

Drainage and Hydrology in NYC The introductory course in our Urban Green Infrastructure foundation series, this seminar is intended for contractors, planners, engineers, architects, landscape architects, construction managers, and green infrastructure enthusiasts who seek New York City specific information regarding the natural and infrastructural systems influencing the design, construction, and maintenance of urban green infrastructure. For this seminar “green infrastructure” will refer to the use of green roofs, walls, parks, expanded roadside plantings, porous pavements, and other innovative technologies which allow for rainwater to seep into soils and be taken up by plants rather than being funneled off to overwhelm our sewer systems and trigger combined sewer overflows (CSOs).

New York City struggles with nearly 30 billion gallons per year of CSO events.

Green infrastructure treats rainwater as a resource rather than a waste. It offers a cost-effective solution to mitigating the City’s sewer overflow problems.

Learning from current green infrastructure professionals, students will gain an understanding of NYC’s unique water management infrastructure and natural systems, which influence green infrastructure implementation.

Topics include: NYC’s watershed and sewershed fragmentation and connectivity; hydrology and geology of NYC; types of soils, soil conditions, soil function, and specification; and green infrastructure stakeholders.

AIA Professional Development for Architects and Engineers “Pratt’s Sustainable Building, Infrastructure Design & Management program offers a helpful introduction to Sustainability and LEED certification.

Tony Gelber is an excellent speaker and he brings his passion for sustainability and conservation to all his classes.”

–Robert Fonfrias, P.E.

“I really enjoyed Roy Pachecano’s and David Reck’s class on “Green Design vs Historic Preservation.” It was very informative and inspiring. With the economy the way that it is, I am trying find ways to reinvent myself as an Architect. Your class gave me much to consider.

“My business partner and I are in contract to purchase a landmark house on Staten Island. The case study of the Nix House gave me a renewed appreciation of the restoration process.

“I look forward to attending more of your seminars in the future.”

–Michael A. Biagioli, AIA, Architect

“I have taken many courses over the years at Pratt and other institutions to meet my PE license continuing education needs. I am pleased to tell you that the course “Greyfield Development—Unlocking the Doors to New Opportunities,” taught by David Robbins A.I.C.P., R.L.A., LEED, was the best I have attended. The subject matter was interesting, but David’s approach to covering the topic and the opportunity for the interactive discussion made the experience more educational and enjoyable. Thanks again.”

–Bruce Levy, P.E.

Autodesk training center “Your institution should be proud to have Mr. Chris Ramirez as part of your group of instructors/professors. I was very impressed with Mr. Ramirez’s pedagogical skills when I participated in the AutoCAD Level I. The skills I refer to are: clear way to express ideas; organized sequence of lessons; structured and logical daily agenda; concern for students’ difficulties; and was always available when needed. I will certainly recommend this course to my col-

leagues and personally look forward to my next course in your department. As a former adjunct professor at college level institutions in New York and New Jersey and as a licensed educator in in both places, I appreciate taking courses in which the instructor, besides having the expertise in the subject, is also a good pedagogue.”

– Arnaldo Cardona, BEnv.Design, B.S.L.A., M.Art, M.S. Educ.

“Eric Kachelhofer was an excellent instructor. He was knowledgeable, engaging, gave personalized instruction, and enabled me to resolve specific issues unique to my field (Crime Scene Reconstruction). It was a great experience and I would like to continue taking classes in the future.”

– Detective Matthew Steiner, New York City Police Department, Crime Scene Unit

“Three-dimensional craniofacial imaging is the future for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Temple University has developed this technique with hopes that it will become commonplace in the future office.

Several types of software programs must be utilized for development.

Temple University has teamed with Pratt’s Autodesk Authorized Training Center Premier Media and Entertainment (formerly known as a discreet Training Center) to enhance the knowledge and usage of the software. Pratt has provided a certified instructor to teach within a private and custom teaching environment.

Continuing support has been an outstanding attribute from Pratt. I believe the success of this project will be ensured due to the strong commitment Pratt has given us.”

– Ched Smaha, DMD, Temple University Department of Orthodontics, Philadelphia, PA

“The nature of our business is very deadline-driven. In order to get our designers proficient and up to speed on Autodesk VIZ, we feel it is best to routinely provide them with offsite training. That way, they can fully con-

centrate on learning about the design tools without any daily distractions.

Our ATC, Pratt Institute, has been a valuable resource in training our product teams, and keeping our workflow proceeding smoothly and efficiently.”

lesson plans. I am very surprised at how much I learned, and I am definitely at a level where I can apply those skills to jobs. I would be thrilled to be able to take an advanced After Effects class with her in the fall.”

– Donald Strum, Senior Director of Product Design, Michael Graves Design Group, Princeton, NJ and New York, NY, USA

– Josh Graver, Pratt Institute, Graphic Designer

fine arts “In brief, I feel so grateful and indebted to Ms. Rosenblatt for the masterly way she brought drawing into my life. I have, in the past, been too impatient to tackle the elegantly simple process of drawing (‘simple’ as in ‘uncluttered,’ not ‘easy’).

“Ms. Rosenblatt has skillfully guided me through one obstacle after another.

The result is I’ve tapped into the JOY of the process, regarding the frustrations, dissatisfactions, etc. as valuable components in the creative process rather than as markers of defeat. This is a very precious gift, which I greatly value.”

–Annica Davis

“The quiet, soft-spoken instructor, Newton Meyers, taught me more about drawing and painting than I had learned at the two colleges I attended.”

–Michelle Delecki

computer graphics “I think the seminar—Overview of Digital Creation and Digital Media, taught by Kathy Brew­—was probably one of the best and most informative classes I’ve taken, in terms of exposure and resources. I’m so happy I got to take it! I am sad it was only one day though.“ –Danielle King, Curatorial Director

“The After Effects I class I just took with Irina (Ira) Yakubov was absolutely fantastic. She is a great instructor who is very well-organized and clear in her

Photography and Digital Creation “Coming from an island in the Caribbean I’ve always been into building bridges that can take me somewhere else. Pratt Manhattan’s Photography and Digital Imaging program has been the provider of the iron, bolts, and wires for this enterprise: my own photography work and business. I’m very happy and thankful for all I learned and developed while I was there. I recommend this program to anyone who is looking to learn and create, to expand and take a chance on passion for art.”

– Mónica Félix, Professional Photographer, Photography and Digital Imaging, Certified Program Alumna

DESIGN “Since taking Elaine Tannenbaum’s class, “Introduction to Graphic Design”, I have dived into the design world and am actually in the process of applying to design MFA programs. I am hoping to combine my background in anthropology and writing to do design for social change. I also started a series of drawings after the class ended called Simplifood—minimalist vector drawings of food from an aerial view. They have become a true outlet for me, and have started to gain some traction (www. cargocollective.com/simplifood)! Thank you for inspiring me to pursue this path and helping me learn the basic skills I needed to make all this possible.”
