Exhibition: Color Space
The Work of Yasmin Vobis
In conjunction with the exhibition Color Space (March 15-30), Visiting Professor Yasmin Vobis will speak about her work at a reception on the evening of Tuesday, March 20 at 6:30pm. The images presented highlight the process of photogrammetry, which uses sets of complementary photographs to locate color points in space in a digital modeling environment. Relying on the camera as a simple perspective-machine, spatial coordinates and RGB values are combined to produce digital environments that connect color and space in a form of architectural pointillism. Colore is the main protagonist of these environments, while disegno are inferred from the color clouds - presenting an inversion from the typical draftsman's approach to delineating architecture. Such models produce information about color, light and surfaces in three dimensions, rendering precise atmospheres.
The works on display were produced during Vobis' time at the American Academy in Rome in the spring of 2017. Her fellowship was made possible by the Founders / Arnold W. Brunner / Katherine Edwards Gordon Rome Prize in Architecture.
This event is open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff. Members of the public may RSVP specifying the event title.

Ana Miljacki, Lecture and Book-Signing: Transcriptions
Transcriptions involve acts of more or less transformative appropriation. Various modes of appropriation are as much part of the architectural unconscious as the field's expectations of novelty. Situating the material from Un/Fair Exhibition and Project_Rorschach, this lecture examines copying, authorship, and other ways we conceptualize the production and transfer of ideas in architecture. In doing so, it also introduces some of the key topics examined in Terms of Appropriation collection of essays, published in December of 2017.
This event is open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff. Members of the public may RSVP specifying the event title.
