"Pratt Design Center is extraordinary because it achieves a visionary model not only in concept, but also in purpose and design"
Juliana Curran Terian on Pratt Design Center, Real Estate Weekly 3/21/2007

"With its curved roof, this multi-use theater looks like a grey sea wave playfully lapping at the base of the bland public housing tower next to it"

"When the new reading room and Infinity Chapel are finished, it’ll be intriguing enough that (people) will come in and say, ‘What is this all about?’ Anyone even interested in design will want to come in and see this incredible space.”
excerpted from Architect magazine, June 2007 "Christian Science Reading Room" by Amanda Kolson Hurley

"Finding a way to do that [create spiritual places that put you in direct contact with nature] in urban spaces like Battery Park City or a 1,600-square-foot urban loft in midtown Manhattan may seem impossible, and that's why [hMa's] work has won so many architectural awards"
Kris Frieswick for Arrive Magazine, May/June 2007 "Six People Changing the Way We Live"

Juliana Curran Terian Pratt Pavilion: View of Pavilion floating above entry court: hanrahan Meyers architects: 2007 NY Designs Award, Architectural League

New York architects hanrahan Meyers (hMa) have a track record for designing award winning educational buildings. hMa's Pratt Pavilion, completed in 2007, was recognized for its cutting edge design with a 'New York Designs' award from the Architectural League of New York. The building is featured in the 2009 Phaidon Atlas of 21st Century World Architecture. The Juliana Curran Terian Pratt Pavilion is a new 10,000 square foot building on the Pratt Institute Campus in Brooklyn. The Pavilion ties two previously separate buildings into one entity: the Pratt Design Center, creating the first Design Center in the United States uniting all Design disciplines (fashion, interior design, graphic design and industrial design) under one roof.

WaveLine Pavilion: Rear elevation view: roof becomes the wall; hanrahan Meyers architects: 2007 AIA NYChapter Design Award

WaveLine, completed in 2007, was recognized with an AIA NYChapter Design Award for its excellence in design. WaveLine was built within an existing NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) compound in Queens, New York, as a multi-use building. Like Pratt Pavilion, WaveLine is connected to a larger Community Center, and was designed to function part-time as a classroom.

trajectories

hMa conceptually integrates architecture and nature by using essential forms and experiences in their works, like such as figures as Carl Andre, Mies van der Rohe and John Cage. This integration is a complex cultural phenomenon belied by the simplicity of forms that are employed, relying on both the abstract and the natural. hMa's work follows these different trajectories where they lead, resulting in project that are both abstract and richly layered in meaning.
