This issue of Prattfolio examines innovation on both a philosophical and a practical level, reflecting the blending of theory and practice in Pratt’s curriculum. From considering the very meaning of innovation, the importance of a cross-disciplinary approach, and the essential role of failure to predicting the next big ideas in the worlds of art, design, and architecture, the Institute’s faculty members continue to demonstrate the tremendous vision, acumen, and creativity that have helped Pratt earn an international reputation for excellence.
