I've been accepted into the MArch I program at Syracuse and Pratt and I'm having a hard time deciding which school to go to. After graduation I'm planning to work in NYC and use my skills in interior design and architecture to work for a firm that would specialize in hospitality design. And eventually I'd like to start my own firm. My question to the CC community: based on the reputation and quality of the programs at Syracuse and Pratt, which school should I go with?
pratt and syracuse are two very different schools. if you look at pratt's work, it's very centered on research, digital fabrication, and a lot of contemporary work whereas syracuse is a little more grounded in formalist ways of thinking. you'll get two pretty different educations so decide which area you are interested in
Just to add on to this thread - I heard that Pratt architects are well known in nyc area, what about those from syracuse? Are they well respected, considering that currently SU is ranked #3 for arch?
