About this Event
Join us for a hands-on geodesic dome build-up at the Pratt Public Sphere, a living laboratory for sustainability, climate justice, and community resilience at Pratt Institute.
Working collaboratively, participants will engage with the assembly of a geodesic dome while exploring sustainable design, low-impact construction, and the relationship between the built environment and ecological systems. The activity offers an opportunity to learn through making, exchange ideas across disciplines, and consider how creative, community-centered spaces can support environmental awareness and resilience.
The Pratt Public Sphere brings together art, architecture, design, and environmental practice to explore practical responses to climate and social challenges. Through collective building and experimentation, this event invites participants to experience sustainability as something we can actively create together.
