My name is Chase Pratt and I am currently in the Masters of Urban Design program at Ball State University - Indianapolis Center. I have a bachelors degree in landscape architecture from the University of Kentucky. I have a broad set of internship experiences, including EDSA in Fort Lauderdale, FL and HoerrSchaudt landscape architects in Chicago, IL. I am interested in the future of urban design, infrastructure, and transportation. New technologies that will cause a drastic shift in urban morphology and physical environments is also a strong interest. I look forward to contributing my voice to this blog.
