Pratt Futures and The Architecture Lobby Chapter at Pratt and NYC at large are coming together for a special evening of discussion, discourse, and occasional disdain to bring to light one of our profession’s biggest issues, labor.

Elisa Iturbe is Assistant Professor at the Cooper Union. Her research and writing are currently focused on the relationship between energy, power, and form. She is the co-coordinator for the Architecture Lobby’s Green New Deal Working Group.
