Visiting Lecture | Piet Eckert: Strategic Methodologies
Architecture may react to a context that is increasingly driven by the massive impact of social, political, economic, and ecological factors, attempting to maintain a singular sense of cohesion. The contradictory has become the contemporary program of our discipline. A strategic organization of space is one that mixes elements, value systems, and action logic. It opens up a combination of essential incoherencies. The target of strategic architecture is to manage the coexistence of conflicting values.
This event is free and open to the public.

Launch | Student Work Collection Database: Phase I
The Student Work Collection represents over eight decades of The Cooper Union's experimental, influential approach to architectural education. This material- part of which will become widely accessible to the public for the first time next month- encompasses analog image, text, and audio records as well as born-digital media that document more than 4,500 projects by over 1,500 students from the 1930s through the present. Phase I, which began in the 2016-17 academic year, will include the Collection's approximately 20,000 analog records dating from the 1930s-2000. This work highlights the singular inclusion of humanities in architectural pedagogy that distinguishes The Cooper Union from other schools of architecture.
The event will take place in the Great Hall, followed by a reception in the Third Floor Lobby. Event details to follow.
