*Editor's note: The date for Neil Brenner's seminar has been updated.

With classes back in session, it’s time once again for our Get Lectured series to look at what’s happening this semester at the Pratt Institute School of Architecture in Brooklyn.

Events this year are organized to answer the essential question: “How do we live together and share our built environment?” under the uniting theme of “cohabitations.”

The school shares: “Across the SoA, our students, staff, and faculty work deeply in looking at the design, planning, and management of affordable and equitable housing, structures that serve the public, as well as how to improve public space design and use — all while considering environmental justice and social equity. cohabitations is a school-wide provocation to bring together the work of our community — across our four departments of the School of Architecture — around this question.”

The Fall term begins on Thursday, September 14, with a lecture from former Columbia GSAPP dean Amale Andraos and Dan Wood of WORKac. Their appearance is followed on September 21 by Pratt Rome Academic Director Federica Vannucchi, who precedes Frederick Biehle's discussion on the program's 50th anniversary on September 22. Authors Katie J. Wells, Kafui Attoh, Declan Cullen close the month on September 29 with a discussion on their new title, Disrupting D.C.: The Rise of Uber and the Fall of the City. 

October begins with a lecture from GAUD critic-at-large Gary Bates of SPACEGROUP on Thursday, October 5. The panel “Africatown: A Collaborative Approach” co-sponsored with the Architectural League of New York on Wednesday, October 18.

John McAslan will appear in conversation with Gary Hattem on October 26 to discuss the work of his firm John McAslan + Partners. Sekou Cooke follows with a lecture on November 2. Events continue on Monday, November 6, with a lecture on monuments and public memory-making from Richard Yoo and Eric Moed. A lecture on the sacred sites of Inwood, Manhattan, concludes the semester on November 15, moderated by Dean Quilian Riano. Neil Brenner’s “Non-City Territory” MLA Landscape Seminar Series follows on November 16. Three small exhibitions are included in the Fall’s programming as well.
