Current Work: Glenn Murcutt
A Conversation with Billie Tsien and Tod Williams on the Design of the Australian Islamic Centre
Murcutt built his career as a sole practitioner over the past 46 years designing smaller scale residences in close collaboration with each of his clients. In the biography printed on the occasion of winning the 2002 Pritzker Prize he declared, "Doing many smaller works provides me with many more opportunities for experimentation." Murcutt's residences blend modernist sensibility with regional craftsmanship and a sensitivity to the natural environment. His philosophy aligns with the Aboriginal saying "touch this earth lightly," a phrase that formed the title of a 1999 biography on the architect by author Philip Drew.
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.

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.
