DRAWING FROM THE ARCHIVE
Analysis as Design
| On view thru Nov 26
Houghton Gallery
7 East 7 Street
NYC |
Presenting analysis work completed at The School of Architecture between 1967 and 2014, this exhibition will celebrate the school's unique approach to analysis as a didactic, structural and abstract discipline. Drawing from the Architecture Archive's collection of student projects, the show will examine significant works of architecture from the Renaissance through the modern period, as well as recently completed buildings. The exhibition will present a broad range of techniques of analysis and representation, which have evolved radically in recent years-from precisely constructed hand drawings to digital drawings and virtual processes that explore new modes of analysis using a variety of materials and tools within a single project. October 14 - November 26, 2013 This exhibition has been made possible with support from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. This exhibition is a program of Archtober, Architecture and Design Month, New York City, October 2014. learn more ...

CONCEPT AND NOTATION
Lecture by Bernard Tschumi
| Nov 24 at 7pm
The Great Hall
7 East 7 Street
NYC |
|
Bernard Tschumi's buildings and theoretical writings have significantly influenced architectural form and discourse for over forty years. A recent comprehensive retrospective of his work at the Pompidou Centre, Paris, provided visitors with a visual, documentary, and experiential survey of his practice. Tschumi's design for the exhibition reflects his approach to understanding architecture, as he describes in the catalogue Architecture: Concept & Notation, "the art of inventing concepts in space through materials."
Bernard Tschumi founded his practice in 1983 in Paris after winning the Parc de La Villette competition, his first major commission. He opened Bernard Tschumi Architects based in New York City in 1988, and Bernard Tschumi urbanistes Architectes based in Paris in 2002. Notable works include the New Acropolis Museum, Athens; as well as Le Fresnoy Center for the Contemporary Arts, Tourcoing, France; and the Limoges Concert Hall, Limoges, France. Current work includes Carnal Hall, at Le Rosey, the Swiss boarding school, as well as the Mus�oparc Al�sia, Alise-Sainte-Reine, France, and the Paris Zoo. Other current projects include the Vacheron Constantin Headquarters addition, Geneva, and the New Hague Passage, The Hague.
Free to current Cooper Union students/faculty/staff and League members; non-members can purchase tickets here.

CONCIOUS/UNCONSCIOUS LANDSCAPES
Lecture by Walter Hood
| Dec 2 at 7pm
The Great Hall
7 East 7 Street
NYC |
|
Walter Hood's firm works primarily in the urban public realm, with projects ranging from small, community-based interventions to large-scale landscape commissions. His landscapes address the complexities of urban space by particularizing and layering function, incorporating what he terms "hybrid" spatial strategies, a pragmatic multifocal approach to design that Hood described in a recent article as reflecting "collisions of differing points of view, which 'fuse the un-fuseable.'"
Moderated by Michael Sorkin, principal of Michael Sorkin Studio, and director of the Graduate Urban Design Studio at the City University of New York
Free to current Cooper Union students/faculty/staff and League members; non-members can purchase tickets here.
