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.

ARCHLOG FEATURE
Instant Lounge at the 2019 Shenzhen Biennale
School of Architecture recent graduates Gabriel Munnich, Yaoyi Fan, Pablo Toubes-Rieger, and Leslie Dougrou exhibited "Instant Lounge" in the Shenzhen Biennale, a cable machine anchored to the ceiling at four nodes which allow it to be scaled to various size spaces. The machine lays a thick rope into various seating, playing, and sleeping configurations that respond to demand. Once a seating configuration is no longer needed, the machine collects the rope and composes a new configuration. Similar to a 3D printer,
“
Instant Lounge
”
layers material to build, but unlike a 3D printer, the machine continually reuses the same material. The rope is made from a continuous cotton tube filled with maybush pits that can decompose and merge with the natural environment after being discarded. The life cycle of the rope spans approximately three years.
