NEW MUSEUM'S IDEAS CIT FESTIVAL
School of Architecture Events
|
|
Founded by the New Museum in 2011, IDEAS CITY is a major collaborative initiative between hundreds of arts, education, and community organizations. This year's theme is Untapped Capital, with participants focused on resources that are under-recognized or underutilized in our cities.
The Cooper Union, its faculty and students are included in many of the Festival's key events including public projects, workshops, and exhibitions.
| New Museum has invited participants from three architecture schools-Columbia University, the Cooper Union, and Princeton University-to explore the future of the city for the research project Bowery Re-Imagined. Each participant university is hosting a Spring 2013 course dedicated to the topic; the resulting research will be presented in workshops and demonstrations at StreetFest on May 4. The School of Architecture's 4th Year Design Studio led by Diane Lewis, has been invited to participate in Bowery Reimagined.

| The PEN World Voices Festival and The Architectural League of New York are partnering to rethink the design of Little Free Libraries as architectural and community-building opportunities for cities. The Little Free Libraries movement places small-scale book shelters in neighborhoods, and is based on the premise "take a book, leave a book." The School of Architecture's 3rd Year Design Studio led by Michael Young was one of ten groups selected as part of a juried competition to design and install a Little Free Library at The Cooper Union.

| PITCHAfrica's RAINCHUTE Campaign literally turns military hardware upside-down to capture the rain. Most of the 320 million people in Africa who do not have access to clean water live in regions where it rains at least as much as in London! Without ways of capturing the rain, people are left without water when the heat evaporates the precipitation. David Turnbull, Director of PITCHAfrica, will hold a workshop for PITCHAfrica's RAINCHUTE Campaign, which utilizes decommissioned parachutes as rainwater harvesters in Africa's semi-arid regions.

Led by Lydia Kallipoliti, in collaboration with Martha Giannakopoulou and Katerina Kourkoula, a group of engineering, architecture and art students from the Cooper Union will present an off-grid lighting installation at the East 4th Street Cultural District. The installation will be powered by alternative energy generation techniques including solar cells, bioluminescent pods and an interactive performance with backwards motors that will illuminate the streetscape. Student Team: Alyssa Davis, Laura Quan, Natalia Zawisny, Stephanie Borchers, Shiori Sasaki, Simon Khuvis, WooJong Kim, Glory Day Correw, Anna Kramer.

What if everything we now define as waste was redefined as Untapped Capital, and the concept of waste was banished from our vocabulary? A group of individuals whose experiences combine analysis, public policy, activism, art, and architecture will discuss these and other issues as they consider the future of waste. Lydia Kallipoliti will participate on the Waste panel discussion as part of the Ideas City Conference to be held in The Great Hall of The Cooper Union. |
