SUMMER PROGRAM
Introduction to Architecture Online: Summer 2022
Classes are underway!
The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union announces our upcoming summer intensive program that features a virtual curriculum accessible to high school and college students worldwide. As an institution that is committed to the pursuit of excellence and learning, we view our current circumstances as an opportunity to advance our thinking through radical experimentation between various forms of online engagement, digital interface, virtual modeling and representation techniques. The pleasure of making and experimentation are fundamental to our discovery of architecture and the innovation of the discipline, as well as a deeply thoughtful form of social and cultural dialogue where the imaginary becomes possible.
High School Student Program Dates: July 5 - August 5
College Student Program Dates: July 5 - July 29
You may watch our public Live Information Session to get an overview of the program's curriculum, pedagogy, and focus for this year. The video features examples of former participants' work and presentations by faculty and staff.

LETTER FROM NADER TEHRANI
Farewell — 2022
Dear Students, Faculty, Alumni, and Members of the Cooper Community:
As I prepare this message, I am very much looking forward to the End of Year Exhibition tonight, marking the first time we come back together in person for this occasion in over two years. Looking back on my seven years at Cooper Union, this has been the one event to which I have looked forward consistently, in great part because of the vast array of people it brings together in celebration. It is also the moment where I got to meet most of you who do not have the occasion to walk our halls on a daily basis. So, I welcome you again, and hope that many are joining us for what promises to be an extraordinary exhibition.
For me, this particular address departs from the annual ones of prior years because it is the last I will deliver in this capacity. It has been an immense honor to have served as the dean of The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, and now the time has come for new leadership, an expanded vision, and another set of challenges. These have been important but transitional years in many ways. Each year has projected new demands, all while we tried to introduce new opportunities for the program.
