LECTURE BY RICHARD MEIER
50th Anniversary in Practice
| Jan 23 at 7PM
The Great Hall
7 East 7 Street
NYC |
A special lecture to celebrate Richard Meier's 50th anniversary in practice.
This lecture is co-sponsored by the Architectural League of New York. Richard Meier founded his New York City based firm in 1963. His practice has completed commissions worldwide that range from civic structures, museums, and corporate headquarters, to housing and private residences. From early projects - including the now iconic "white" houses, such as the Smith House in Darien, and institutional projects beginning with the Bronx Development Center - to the Getty Center in Los Angeles or Rome's Ara Pacis Museum and Jubilee Church, Meier and his partners continue to embody the accolades of the Pritzker Prize citation almost thirty years ago, that, in his "single-minded pursuit of the essence of modern architecture...he has broadened its range of forms to make it responsive to the expectations of our time."
Moderated discussion to follow with fellow partners Bernhard Karpf, Reynolds Logan, and Dukho Yeon
FREE FOR COOPER UNION STUDENTS/FACULTY/STAFF AND LEAGUE MEMBERS

School of Architecture Archive historical background: In 1970 John Hejduk and Roger Canon, AR'70, established a methodology to document student work for the publication Education of An Architect: A Point of View, which coincided with an exhibition of the same name held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1971. Supported by a recommendation of the 1980 National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) Visiting Team, the Archive was established in 1983, and officially became a department of the School of Architecture in 1991.
