Current Work | Sean Godsell: An Antipodal Architecture


Australian architect Sean Godsell will discuss four of his firm's projects that range in scale from a mass-produced relocatable dwelling for emergency housing to a new "Design Hub" for RMIT University in Melbourne. Godsell received his BArch and March from The University of Melbourne. After working in London for Sir Denys Lasdun and in Melbourne for the Hassell Group he established Godsell Associates Pty Ltd Architects in 1994.

A discussion between Godsell and New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman will follow the lecture.

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.
Exhibition | Archive and Artifact: The Virtual and the Physical


This exhibition celebrates the experimental and influential pedagogy of  The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture by presenting undergraduate Thesis projects completed at the school over the last 50 years.

Curated from materials documented in the Student Work Collection of the School of Architecture Archive, the exhibition includes drawings, produced by hand and by computation, and models of 35 undergraduate Thesis projects completed between 1969 and 2018. These materials are complimented by a preview of the School of Architecture Archive's Digital Access Project, an online database of the Student Work Collection that expands the scope of the exhibition. Visitors will be able to access the database via computer terminals in the gallery. At this time, the database is comprised of over 500 Thesis projects completed between the 1960's through 2003, including nearly 8,500 digitized records.
