CURRENT WORK LECTURE
KoningEizenberg Architecture: Neighborhood
Wednesday, February 26 | 7:00PM
The Great Hall
Architect Julie Eizenberg will present her firm’s projects for Current Work.
The Santa Monica-based firm KoningEizenberg was founded in 1982 by Australian architects Hank Koning and Julie Eizenberg. The firm describes an “inherent pragmatism” underlying its design process, “driven by tight budgets and a commitment to environmentally responsive design.” It aims to work with clients “to reveal new possibilities for the design of housing and neighborhood places that strengthen community.”
The lecture will be followed by a conversation with Karen Stein. Stein, an architectural consultant and writer, is executive director of the George Nelson Foundation.
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.
