RM 715
Foundation Bldg |
Do you want to be an Architect?
You need to be an Intern first.
Everything you need to know about the Intern Development Program (IDP)
The Intern Development Program (IDP) is an essential step in the path to become an architect. Your journey typically begins in a school of architecture; however, it does not end there. Ultimately, through the IDP you will learn about the daily realities of architectural practice, acquire comprehensive experience in basic practice areas, explore specialized areas of practice, develop professional judgment, and refine your career goals. IDP is designed to help you realize those goals.
Professor Michael Samuelian will discuss IDP requirements, and explain the steps to establish your IDP record, identify your IDP supervisor, identify your mentor, document your experience, etc.
Lunch will be served

In 1993 Frank Barkow and Regine Leibinger founded their practice in Berlin. Their interdisciplinary, discursive attitude allows their work to expand and respond to advancing knowledge and technology. This know-how contributes to recent projects including a gatehouse and factory-campus event space in Stuttgart Germany and the TRUTEC Office Building in Seoul. Current research projects have focused on infra light concrete, facade systems, space-frames, and ceramic elements. Recently completed projects include a high rise, Tour Total, near the Berlin main train station for CA Immo Developments and an apartment and hotel complex in passive house standard in Freiburg. A Current project on the boards is a multi-use extension for the Aufbau Haus in Berlin.

NOTES FROM THE ARCHIVE
Selections from the Interior Renovation of the
Foundation Building, 1971-1974
|
|
|
The above selection shows the structural fortification of the framing elements between the 3rd and 4th floors.
As part of its extensive collection of the architectural history of Cooper Union's campus, the Architecture Archive's holdings include the photo survey that chronicles the interior renovation of the Foundation Building between 1971 and 1974. These images highlight the architectural and structural complexity of the project, and the resulting work of modernist architecture constructed within the confines of a nineteenth century building envelope.

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.
