Opening Reception | Architecture at Cooper 1859-2009

Friday, October 23, 2009, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm

Free

An exhibition tracing the successive transformations of Cooper Union’s architecture, from the Foundation Building, which was designed by Frederick Petersen and completed in 1859, extensively renovated by Leopold Eidlitz in the 1880s and 90s, and transformed in 1975 by John Hejduk, to the construction of by Thom Mayne in 2009. The exhibition will also examine how the education of architects—beginning with the first drawing classes of 1859 to the five year undergraduate professional degree program and post-professional master’s program—has been reflected in the careful design and re-design of the school's buildings. For the first time, recently discovered blueprints of the Foundation Building from the Leopold Eidlitz reconstruction work in the 1880s and design phase blueprints from the 1975 John Hejduk interior renovation will be on public display.

The show will also feature an array of works and historic artifacts, including an original drawing fragment of the Foundation Building by Petersen; images of innovative student works; and publications from 1965 to the present demonstrating the development of the Chanin School’s pedagogy.
