Pedagogy of Practice
Erika Hinrichs presented her pedagogy of practice at viaARCHITECTURE in Pratt Institute’s second School of Architecture Faculty Practice Presentations. She focused on several publicized projects and recent competition entries.
“Our work can be characterized by a material curiosity, a quality of being crafted, and a thoroughness with its spatial resolution. It is a practice that has generated an interlocking set of stories and relationships in the pursuit of three conditions:
Porosity Interiority MaterialityIt is in the craft of making that a distinction is made between inhabiting and dwelling. Through all of these investigations, we take the opportunity to reconsider the nature of utility. To make something more of it. First by finding additional paths of movement as a means of empowering those who engage the spaces— either for the body or the eye, then to the actual figuring of the space itself.”
Research Presentation
Frederick Biehle presented his Academic Research at the first Pratt School of Architecture Faculty Research Presentations on his 400 level design studios, ranging in programmatic topics while also addressing inner perspectives on architecture- foregrounding issues of narrative, cross-disciplinary methodologies, or ethical underpinnings, as well as coordination of the Undergraduate Rome Program, whose pedagogy engages the continuity of architecture and its history.
Housing After Banking
Frederick Biehle participated in a discussion following the presentation of a thesis and project proposal by Eunjeong Seong that proposed converting the single family house into an energy producing solar asset as a way of redirecting the current debt structure that controls the housing market.
