With support from the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Polish students redesigned their university campuses in collaboration with colleagues overseas.
The effects of the cooperation, established by the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and the Pratt Institute, will be on display at the exhibition at the latter in New York. As part of the workshop series "One Sun One Moon", students of the Faculty of Design at the Pratt Institute and the Faculty of Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw worked together under the guidance of Karen Stone and Michael Stefanowski to create a proposal to revise their college campuses. The task was to tailor a space of their own and modify the surrounding objects in order to facilitate the functioning of the users and change the visual quality of the environment.

Students worked in parallel, knowing they are working on the same project from both side of the ocean, under the same sun and the same moon. The authors of the projects will have the opportunity to meet and discuss their projects during the exhibition.
