Clara Solá-Morales, Cadaval & Solá-Morales: Under Construction
Cadaval & Sola-Morales was founded in New York City in 2003 and moved to both Barcelona & Mexico City in 2005. The studio operates as a laboratory in which research and development are key elements of the design process. The objective of the firm is to create intelligent design solutions at many different scales, from large projects to small buildings, from objects to city fractions.
Cadaval & Sola-Morales were considered by Wallpaper Magazine as one of the world's 10 best young offices and by Architectural Record as one of the top ten architectural firms at international level in their Design Vanguard issue.
This event is open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff. Members of the public may

Pigs, Pots and Philodendrons: Pedro & Juana
Pedro & Juana is a studio from Mexico City founded by Ana Paula Ruiz Galindo and Mecky Reuss that works on a variety of projects across creative professions. Pedro&Juana explore the capacity of objects to change their environment, through the indiscriminate use of material, texture, color, placement or form. Their projects assemble new and unexpected relationships with those that encounter them. Some of them are: Sesiones Puerquito or Little Pig (2012-2014), cooking a suckling as a pretext for better conversation. Archivo Pavilion (2012), an intervention in the gardens of Archivo Diseño y Arquitectura DF/Mexico. Hellmut (2013), a Table turn Bench turn Table for Gallery 1 of Museo Jumex DF/Mexico. Casa Reyes (2011- 2012), an annex in an ex-colonial house in Merida/Yucatan. Pavilion of Hotel Palenque is not in Yucatán, a de-differentiated structure at the Hessel Museum of Art, NY (2014). With Love from The Tropics (2016-2017), a hanging garden for the MCA in Chicago/US.
Open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff.

Realizing the Future City
Elie Gamburg In-Class Guest Lecture in Anna Bokov's History of Future Cities class.
Speculative theories of 'the future city' have long been laboratories for architectural experimentation - embodying the utopian hopes and crystallizing the dystopian fears of each succeeding generation of designers and urbanists. These theories have in turn (for better or worse) informed long-term evolutions in how cities are built, expanded and inhabited. What are the conceptual urban strategies that architects are using to design, expand and retrofit the cities of today (and tomorrow)? What is the role of architecture in city design, at a moment when over 50% of the world's population now lives in cities, when developing countries are urbanizing at an incredible rate, and when established cities are re-imagining themselves? What new analytic and design techniques do we, as architects, have that are enabling us to innovate in the realm of urban design?
Open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff.
