Current Work: Nat Oppenheimer, Silman
Moderated by Paul Lewis
Oppenheimer develops engineering systems to support new construction, renovations, and historic preservation and is Principal in Charge of much of Silman's institutional work, which includes some of the most significant American cultural centers of the last decade. Recent projects include Grace Farms designed by SANAA in New Canaan, CT, the expansion and renovation of the Harvard Art Museums, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, both designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop. For Cornell University, Oppenheimer worked with OMA to engineer the College for Architecture, Art and Planning's Milstein Hall, which features a distinctive horizontal plate that cantilevers over one of the University's main thoroughfares. Oppenheimer is currently working on the expansion of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. by Steven Holl Architects.
This event is Co-sponsored with The Architectural League of New York.
Tickets are free for Cooper Union students and faculty with valid ID, and League members. For ticket inquiries, please refer to The Architectural League of New York website.

Sue Ferguson Gussow Scholarship
Members of The Irwin S. Chanin School or Architecture class of 1995 are leading an effort to raise an endowed scholarship named in honor of Sue Ferguson Gussow A'56, professor emerita, who has taught drawing to generations of students of the school. Our goal is to reach $100k by the end of this fiscal year, which will allow for a scholarship to be awarded to a first-year architecture student every year in perpetuity.
The Cooper Union welcomes Laura Sparks as our new president. Her stewardship, and our support and work will jointly determine a return to full tuition scholarships of all admitted students. We ask that alumni who were so deeply affected by Sue's teaching join this effort to both honor Sue and move closer to that goal by contributing generously to this fund.
