About Pratt Institute Rome

Pratt Institute's School of Architecture offers an extraordinary opportunity for fourth-year undergraduate students for a semester of architectural study and cultural exploration in Rome. Following the tradition of the Grand Tour, students explore Italy as a living “open-air museum”. The program introduces students to key movements and figures such as Rationalism; Ernesto Rogers's concept of “from the spoon to the city”; Aldo Rossi's The Architecture of the City; Giancarlo De Carlo's “architecture of participation”; the Italian Radicals; the Architecture of Autonomy; and Carlo Scarpa's poetic obsession with materials and detail. The encounter with the city is intended to site a reconsideration of design priorities, investigating the remains of antiquity and Rome's urban artifacts to offer a unique lesson: the interaction of physical cause and cultural effect on the built environment and its cumulative presence through time. The program also examines landmark works of 20th-century architecture and engages with the country's pivotal role in shaping modern architectural and design discourse.
