SHOW YOUR ECO DESIGNS AT "GREEN" BLOCK PARTY

A block party devoted to showcasing new ideas for green living will take place Saturday, October 2, 10 AM-6 PM and there is still space available to demonstrate your eco-friendly work or products.

More than 3,000 people are expected to attend the Green Home NYC DIY Green Block Party, which will also serve as a prototype to “green up” other New York street fairs by composting, using biofuels, and minimizing trash.

If you are interested in renting a booth at the block party, visit http://greenhomenyc.org/bldgs and contact anovak@hudsoninc.com for special student rates.

The block party will be held in front of the Third + Bond building in Carroll Gardens (Third Street between Bond and Hoyt streets), the first Brooklyn mid-rise luxury project to achieve both LEED-Gold and Energy Star Home green building certifications.

The Third + Bond model townhouses were outfitted by a team of Pratt alumni, faculty, and student fine artists, designers, and architects and will also be open for tours.

PRATT NAMED TOP DESIGN SCHOOL IN NEW YORK STATE

TrendTopper Media Buzz, a twice yearly analysis of the nation’s top 300 colleges and universities, has named New York the Top State for Top Colleges and Pratt Institute its Top Design School. The list is assembled by the Global Language Monitor (GLM) an Austin, Texas-based company that surveys social media such as Twitter, as well as the Internet, blogosphere, and the global print and electronic media. This method, says GLM’s president, Paul JJ Payack “removes the biases inherently built into each of the other published rankings.”

Within New York, TrendTopper’s rankings are as follows:

No. 1 State: New York

Top College: Vassar College

Top University: Columbia University

Top Academy: United States Military Academy

Top Music School: Juilliard School

Top Design School: Pratt Institute

Top Surprise: NY as the No. 1 State

California ranks second, and Massachusetts came in third place.
