Why is it that Pratt's School Architecture is not represented at the Pratt Show?

All this is great news...keep it coming. I'll be sure to visit the Manhattan center shortly after Labor Day 2011 when I meet for my 50th High School Class reunion out on Long Island. The school of architecture could be a welcome addition
