Turning a studio hallway into a garden

Pratt students were losing touch with their studio and the people around them. The collective used a community garden to bring attention back to the present, to each other, and to the space they share.

Before building, we asked two questions: could people actually grow something inside Steuben Hall, and what tools and guidance would they need?

The planting station answered both:

01Mung bean seeds and mud blocks that expand in water
02Cups, plant name tags and simple planting instructions
03A laser-cut tree where people left messages on leaf-shaped notes
