End of Year Exhibition, 2014-15
This has been a consequential year in the history of The Cooper Union. Even as structural change has come to the institution, debate continues on its impact, both to the historic mission and values of the school, and to the question of higher education as a public good. In this year, as we anticipate the successful conclusion of the Dean Search, the School has recommitted itself to architecture as a social, intellectual and creative project. The historic ethos of The Cooper Union informs the school at every level, and the design studio is, more than ever, a place of community and debate, of analysis, experimentation, precision, hard work and risk-taking. Projects seek to clarify what is fundament to the discipline of architecture while drawing in questions of urgency and consequence for the individual and humanity.
