A new book chronicles the work of Peter Melocco, a mosaic artist and marble worker who trained at The Cooper Union and transformed Australian architecture.
The Cooper Union's annual End of Year Show opened to the public on May 28, featuring work by students from the schools of architecture, art, and engineering.
Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in 1859, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art offers education in art, architecture and engineering, as well as courses in the humanities and social sciences.
From its beginnings, Cooper Union was a unique institution, dedicated to founder Peter Cooper's proposition that education is the key not only to personal prosperity but to civic virtue and harmony.
