Friday Five with Elliott Maltby of thread collective
Founding partner of thread collective, Urban Landscape Design Director Elliott Maltby believes that art and design can improve the sustainability and vitality of the urban environment. Her vast knowledge of landscape elements shows in every project she lays hands on ? including how plants can make for fantastic design elements. Elliott is also skilled in sensory experiences and cultural narratives while providing ecosystem services.
In her research Elliott explores the influence ecological conditions have on the current built and cultural environment. Most recently it’s taken her on a journey to explore the history of Collect Pond in Lower Manhattan, identifying its influence on the city that ranges from the municipal water supply to the founding of Chase Manhattan Bank. In addition to working with architects, Elliott has also collaborated with artists and scientists to creatively address urban design, climate change, and resiliency. She’s currently an Adjunct Associate Professor of Graduate Architecture and Urban Design at the Pratt Institute. Today Elliott is joining us for Friday Five and sharing some important influences in her life.

I love wandering through cities, following what intrigues me in the moment. Material juxtapositions, changing light, vernacular signs, and unexpected plantings...
