Exhibition | Eight Tide Jars
Please join the School of Architecture in celebrating the work of artist Adam Silverman at the opening of his site specific installation Eight Tide Jars.
Each of the eight wheel-thrown pieces on display began as a 25 pound extruded brick of industrially processed clay. They were each placed directly on the wheel head (rather than starting with a ball of clay, as is the norm). Each piece typically spends at least a week on the wheel as it is slowly worked from a brick to a ball to a cylinder to an egg to a punched and pounded shadow of its original shape.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 2 - 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 12pm - 7pm
This exhibition is free and open to the public.

Exhibition | Master of Architecture II Design Thesis: What is Contemporary?
To work through a design thesis is to ask the process of creation to steer, divert, reflect, and problematize an initial set of questions. A thesis project does not seek to conclusively answer these questions which set it on its way; in the most exemplary instances, it resolves itself into a different set of questions informed by the labor and objects of design. This requires knowledge, research, and experimentation in order to establish a position within a discipline's discursive framework. Furthermore, a thesis must engage the pressing issues of one's time. It must ask what it is to be contemporary?
The 2019 M.ARCH II Thesis Studio is taught by professors Michael Young and Anna Bokov.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 12-7pm
This exhibition is free and open to the public.

Current Work | Pezo Von Ellrichshausen: From A to B
Sofia von Ellrichshausen and Mauricio Pezo founded Pezo von Ellrichshausen in the southern Chilean city of Concepción in 2002. The two believe that architecture is a form of knowledge that provides "a tool to experience, read, and eventually understand the world in which we live." They describe the sequence of design tools and methods that guide their work: "reading buildings by their 'spatial structure'; replacing the notion of form by 'format'; articulating rooms without interior; eroding the scale of things; doing austere buildings, hundreds of paintings, over and over again, 'no more no less'."
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 | How to Build a House: Architectural Research in the Digital Age
This exhibition showcases the conception and making of the DFAB HOUSE, the world's first fully inhabited building to have been digitally planned and largely built with the help of robots and 3D printers.
How to Build a House is a visual journey through research on the transformation of architecture and construction through computation. The exhibit is an entry point into understanding the digital as a novel domain for architects to draw from at each step of the design, fabrication, and assembly of a building.
In conjuction with the exhibition, a panel discussion - Architectural Research in the Digital Age - will take place in Cooper Union's Frederick P. Rose Auditorium, and will include Benjamin Dillenburger, Fabio Gramazio, Matthias Kohler, Jenny Sabin, Skylar Tibbits, and Dean Nader Tehrani.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Friday, 2 - 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 12pm - 7pm
This exhibition is free and open to the public.

Exhibitions on view
A-Museum of Quickroots : Un-Museo de Raices Movedizas
by Mauricio Higuera, et al. - (August 4 through August 31)
A-Museum of Quickroots ("Raices Movedizas") activates perceptions, stories, images, texts, and gatherings as iterations of a migrant museum. The project ignites places with the cultural and interpretive agency of an institution at the hands of collective effort. Against the backdrop of establishments that undocument migrant imaginations, Raices Movedizas is a witness. It documents these emergent imaginations through exhibitions, performances, and publications.
The Light Lights | Space by Seonhee Sunny Kim - (August 3 through August 31)
We perceive shapes under light. Light freely charges our perception of depth from a plane into a solid, the solid into a plane. The Light Lights | Space installation is about the intangible and varying experience from the reflection and shadow of light in space. With a thin layer of paper, light defines the shape itself and draws its boundary with the shadow in space. Reflections and shadows shown through the surface of the paper break down the boundaries of dimensional space, creating smooth and firm connections with it.
