LESSONS FROM MODERNISM:
Review in Architect's Newspaper
|
On View
JAN 29-MAR 23
|
William Menking reviews the exhibition "Lessons From Modernism" currently on view in the Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Gallery.
COOPER UNION EXHIBITION EXPLORES ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN IN MODERNISM
"Lessons From Modernism is the smartest and most compelling exhibition ever mounted in New York (and maybe anywhere) on the influence of nature and the environment in architectural design. This Cooper Union exhibition looks at and analyzes 25 iconic modern buildings from architects like Le Corbusier, Paul Rudolph, Jean Prouv�, and Oscar Niemeyer.

CITIES IN CRISIS:
ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATIONS
Dr. Steward Pickett

FEB 11 - MAR 18
All lectures at 6:30PM
The Great Hall
7 E. 7 Street

On the one hand, cities can be the epitome of sustainability, reaping the benefits of proximity, efficiency, and innovation. On the other hand, they can be graveyards of dreams and sources of contamination. In Cities In Crisis: Ecological Transformations, six lectures at The Cooper Union, Dr. Steward Pickett, past President of the Ecological Society of America and a plant ecologist with the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, will present an integrated view of cities from an ecological perspective and explore the frontiers of promoting the transformation of a more sustainable urban trajectory.

2013 LA MAMA SHOW: Tap Dat Capital
Call for Exhibition Proposals
|
DEADLINE
March 15, 2013
|
The School of Art at The Cooper Union has been asked to continue our partnership with La MaMa La Galleria located on 6 East 1st Street. For this exhibition, they are seeking "proposals for proposals". The intention is to exhibit drawings or models or instructions for things which have not yet been realized, or are perhaps unrealizable: Schematics for would-be urban interventions and experiments in the public realm; alternative cartographies or maps of dreamscapes; impossible diagrams; utopian proposals and manifestoes; directions for poetic gestures; designs for devices of economic justice or sustainability; and radical imaginings of all sorts.
Submissions are open to current students from all three schools of The Cooper Union.
This year the La MaMa exhibition will be a part of The New Museum's IDEAS City festival, entitled Untapped Capital.
