Current Work | Michael Webb: The Notion of Motion
Michael Webb studied architecture at London's Regent Street Polytechnic School of Architecture (now the University of Westminster) between 1953 and 1972. In 1960, one of his projects found its way to the Visionary Architecture exhibition organized by New York's Museum of Modern Art.
A year later, Peter Cook invited Webb to join Archigram. Rebelling against what it saw as the failure of the architectural establishment in Britain, the group aimed to create projects that reflected the technological and social changes that the country was undergoing. Although unbuilt, Archigram's projects offered a new approach to urbanism and infrastructure: 1984's Plug-In City, for instance, proposed an evolving, movable megastructure that incorporated housing, transportation, and other essential services.
This lecture 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.

This exhibition celebrates the experimental and influential pedagogy of The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture by presenting undergraduate Thesis projects completed at the school over the last 50 years.
Curated from materials documented in the Student Work Collection of the School of Architecture Archive, the exhibition includes drawings, produced by hand and by computation, and models of 35 undergraduate Thesis projects completed between 1969 and 2018. These materials are complimented by a preview of the School of Architecture Archive's Digital Access Project, an online database of the Student Work Collection that expands the scope of the exhibition. Visitors will be able to access the database via computer terminals in the gallery. At this time, the database is comprised of over 500 Thesis projects completed between the 1960's through 2003, including nearly 8,500 digitized records.
