        普瑞特艺术学院是美国最大的艺术学院之一，它由美国实业家查尔斯·普瑞特于1887年创立。为倡导教育和对人们生活带来转换性影响的理念，普瑞特着手为工薪阶层的男性和女性提供负担得起的大学教育。普瑞特的课程，为学生进入设计和工程领域做好准备。许多普瑞特艺术学院的学生成为了建筑师、工程师、裁缝和家具制造商。

        今天，普瑞特学院卓越的学术在建筑、艺术、设计、信息研究和人文艺术与科学方面展现了有远见的未来。自1887年12名学生在普瑞特布鲁克林校区上第一堂课以来，该学院逐渐成为全球高等教育的顶级领导者，拥有超过1100名获奖艺术家、设计师、建筑师、作家和学者。普瑞特的地理位置——位于布鲁克林的25英亩美丽的主校区和位于曼哈顿的地标性建筑——为4700名学生提供了无与伦比的机会去接触并向艺术领导者们以及本地和国际的各个行业学习。在全球83个国家，普瑞特学院的62,000名校友通过他们卓越的工作塑造着世界并推动了创意经济的发展。

Pratt Institute is one of the largest art schools in the US. It was founded in 1887 by American industrialist Charles Pratt. An advocate of education and the transformational impact it can have on people’s lives, Pratt set out to provide an affordable college education that was accessible to working men and women. Pratt provides programs that prepared for students to enter the fields of design and engineering. Many Pratt students became architects, engineers, dressmakers, and furniture makers.

Today, Pratt Institute is transforming academic excellence in architecture, art, design, information studies, and liberal arts and sciences through its visionary future. Since the first class of 12 students convened on Pratt’s Brooklyn campus in 1887, the college has become a top-ranked global leader in higher education with a world-renowned faculty of over 1,100 award-winning artists, designers, architects, writers, and scholars. Pratt’s locations—a beautiful 25-acre main campus in Brooklyn and a landmark building in Manhattan—provide unparalleled opportunities for 4,700 students to engage with, and learn from, artistic leaders and local and international industries. In 83 countries across the globe, Pratt’s 62,000 alumni are advancing the creative economy and shaping the world through their remarkable work.

• 设计学院 School of Design
  

https://www.pratt.edu/academics/school-of-design/

        2007年，在普瑞特董事会员及校友朱莉安娜.特里安慷慨捐赠的帮助下(1990年)，普瑞特开设了朱莉安娜·柯伦·特里安设计中心——一个多学科的综合建筑，将普瑞特所有的设计学科聚集在同一所校园内，加强跨学科的合作与探索，这是普瑞特教育的特点。该设计中心包括15万平方英尺的两个历史悠久的阁楼建筑。

        为此，位于朱莉安娜.特里安设计中心的设计学院于2014年成立。位于布鲁克林区的设计和文化中心，设计学院由普瑞特最古老最受尊敬的四个学科组成，包括本科的通信设计、时装设计、工业设计和室内设计；以及工业设计、室内设计、通讯设计和包装设计的研究生专业。

In 2007, with the help of a generous gift from Pratt Trustee and alumna Juliana Terian (B. Arch. ’90), Pratt opened the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center—a multidisciplinary complex that brings all of Pratt’s design disciplines together under one roof, enhancing the interdisciplinary collaboration and exploration that are a hallmark of a Pratt education. The Design Center comprises 150,000 square feet among two historic loft buildings joined by a modern pavilion.

To this end, the School of Design, housed in the Juliana Curran Terian Design Center, was founded in 2014. Located in the borough of Brooklyn, the city’s epicenter of design and culture, The School of Design is made up of four of Pratt’s oldest and most esteemed disciplines and includes undergraduate education in Communications Design, Fashion Design, Industrial Design, and Interior Design; as well as graduate degrees in Industrial Design, Interior Design, Communications Design, and Package Design.

 

• 通信设计专业 Communication Design
  

https://www.pratt.edu/academics/school-of-design/undergraduate-school-of-design/ug-communications-design/

        通信设计课程包含了通信设计实践中的多面性和跨学科性质。我们的课程和项目促进丰富的交流，体现在工作室文化中，重视个人观点、评论、视觉素养、媒体流畅性、体验式学习和创新形式的成果等发展。

        工作室课程通过引入具有时代感的媒体、视觉系统、品牌和装置等促使学生参与越来越复杂的项目。学生通过他们所选择的重点领域课程(平面设计、插图或广告艺术指导等)来推进对个人关注点或在更大学科范围内的兴趣。核心课程允许学生去探索视觉艺术领域内的思考与创造方式。

        系里每周举办艺术家和设计师的系列讲座，并邀请客座评论家参与公开讨论，充分利用了纽约市拥有的丰富人才资源。该项目还为有兴趣拓展海外学习经验的学生提供国际交流与海外学习的项目。

The Communications Design curriculum embraces the multi-faceted and interdisciplinary nature of communication design practice. Our courses and projects promote the rich exchange embodied in a studio culture that values the development of individual perspectives, critique, visual literacy, media fluency, experiential learning, and innovative formal outcomes.

The studio courses prompt students to engage in increasingly complex projects that introduce time-based media, visual systems, branding, and installations. Students develop an individual focus or set of interests inside the larger discipline through courses in their chosen area of emphasis: graphic design, illustration, or advertising art direction. The core curriculum allow students to explore ways of thinking and making throughout the visual arts.

The department hosts a weekly visiting artist and designer lecture series and invites guest critics to participate in open critiques taking full advantage of the wealth of talent that New York City has to offer. The program also supports international exchange and study abroad programs for students who are interested in expanding their learning experience abroad.

 

• 工业设计专业 Industrial Design
  

https://www.pratt.edu/academics/school-of-design/undergraduate-school-of-design/undergraduate-industrial-design/

        普瑞特美院的工业设计课程旨在培养学生成为21世纪的专业设计师。无论是与工业合作还是作为企业家，学生们都将能够创造出产品、系统与环境，并帮助创新和改善我们日常用品的风貌。

        要成为专业人士，学生将要学习视觉抽象的审美价值，从线条、色彩到复杂的三维形态的发展。学生学习设计实践的过程是迭代式的，包括构思、草图、原型制作以及测试他们的项目。在模型工作室学习的动手技能与在计算机实验室练习的数字技能相辅相成。从大二开始，学生们将被教导批判性思维的重要性：观察和发现的艺术，包括发现和表述需要设计解决方案的实际问题的能力。

        工业设计系的教师都是专业的教育工作者和设计师。他们中的许多人亦是自己成功企业的负责人，并获得过著名的行业奖项。通过多年的学习，学生们可以接触到纽约市丰富的文化与多样性，那里有世界一流的博物馆、画廊与艺术设计活动。尤其是布鲁克林，最近已经成为年轻人创业工艺和设计文化的热点地区，学生们可以通过沉浸在繁忙的当代设计活动中学到很多东西。

The Industrial Design program at Pratt is set to prepare students to become professional designers of the 21st century. Whether working with industry or acting as entrepreneurs, students will be able to create products, systems, and environments which help to innovate and improve everyday objects.

To become professionals, students learn aesthetic values of visual abstraction, from line and color to development of complex three-dimensional form.  Students study to practice design as an iterative process that includes ideation, sketching, prototype making, and testing of their projects. Hands-on skills, learned in a model shop, are complemented with digital skills, practiced in computer labs. From their sophomore year on, students are taught the importance of critical thinking: the art of observation and discovery, and ability to uncover and formulate real-world problems in need of design solutions.

Faculty members in the Industrial Design department are professional educators and designers; many of them are principals of their own successful businesses and recipients of prestigious industry awards. Throughout their years of study, students are exposed to cultural richness and diversity of New York City, with its world-class museums, galleries, and art and design events. Brooklyn, in particular, has recently become a hot spot of young entrepreneurial craft and design culture, and students can learn a great deal from immersing themselves in the activities of the bustling contemporary design scene.
