<p>How much respect does Pratt’s architecture program get? Is it one of the best in the north east? Where does it rank on producing top notch architects?</p>
<p>Pratt has a fair reputation in New York City. Faculty bios would give you the best understanding of the strength of their current program–unfortunately their website is a shocker and no faculty bios are listed.</p>
<p>That’s the kind of inattention that should give you pause.</p>
<p>Off the cuff, I cannot think of any illustrious architects who were trained at Pratt–though I did know a number of architects who taught there.</p>
<p>isn’t Peter Zumthor a Pratt alum?</p>
<p>Did he graduate? I don’t think he stayed more than a couple of years–in the Interior Design Dept–and arrived as a mature cabinet maker from Basel.
