Architecture at Cooper 1859-2009
Architecture at Cooper 1859-2009.
The Cooper Union Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture
This exhibition traces the transformations of Cooper Union’s architecture, from the Foundation Building, designed by Frederick Petersen and completed in 1859, extensively renovated by Leopold Eidlitz in the 1880s and 90s, and transformed in 1975 by John Hejduk, to the construction of 41 Cooper Square by Morphosis in 2009. The exhibition also examines how the education of architects has been reflected in the design and re-design of the school’s buildings.
