John Fitzpatrick served as the Construction Supervisor for Sciame for the construction of 41 Cooper Square, overseeing the site from the colonnade of The Foundation Building from 2006 - 2009. He worked tirelessly on behalf of The Cooper Union to realize a work of architecture that bridged methods of hand craft with the most sophisticated digital techniques. He was a man of intelligence, generosity and grace who loved to build. He was also a master teacher, who freely shared his knowledge and experience with our students during the construction of the New Academic Building, leading discussions and site visits during all phases of the project.

SURFACE TO STRUCTURE
Folded Forms
| Opening Reception
June 19, 7-10pm
41 Cooper Gallery
The Cooper Union |
Surface to Structure: Folded Forms is an exhibition of origami artwork that brings together the work of 88 artists spanning five continents. The 134 works in the show encapsulate a broad spectrum of origami's possibilities, both artistic and scientific, and push the perceptions of this art form beyond its traditional boundaries.
Surface to Structure marks the 55th anniversary of the very first origami exhibition held in the United States, which was also housed within The Cooper Union. The historic works of that seminal exhibition served as a foundation for the contemporary origami of today, which has progressed into a far greater range and complexity of styles, techniques, and genres. Curated by Uyen Nguyen (Albert Nerken School of Engineering, ME '14) On view until July 3, 2014 Open daily, 11am - 10pm

OPEN CALLS & OPPORTUNITIES |
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: JAE | The theme proposed for Journal of Architectural Education 69:1 is Crisis, with the aim of assembling a collection of research, propositions, and opinions that illuminate in new ways the relation between architecture, modernity, and crisis. The emphasis intended for the issue is less the mitigation or solution of crises than the contextualization of crisis itself in relation to design practice. To this end, the preference will be given to contributions that contextualize crisis (Scholarship of Design) and those that interrogate crisis (Design as Scholarship).
