From the Stanton Task Force:
Students from the Interior Design program at Pratt Institute offered their fresh thinking and design skills to our community vision for the Stanton Building in SDR Park.
Brief presentations by these Fall 2020 students of their designs for the Stanton Building were followed by a dialogue with community members. For more detailed views of their work: Stanton Task Force Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/StantonBldg/
To Stanton Street Pratt Students: We thank you for showing up in this time of hardships around the world. Our neighborhood, our representatives, Pratt professor Keena Suh and all of you in her classes continue to show us what it means to be a community that is not bounded by self-interest or ‘ownership’ or state or country but bound together with shared work and caring and our future.
“What matters is the countless small deeds of unknown people who lay the basis for the significant events that enter history. They’re the ones who have done things in the past they’re the ones who will have to do it in the future.” Howard Zinn
We live on Lanape land and give our thanks.
