What does it mean to reimagine the future, reflect on the present, and reconsider the past in the context of the climate emergency? An experiment in interdisciplinarity, this exhibition shows how students from all three schools of The Cooper Union engage independently in works on climate. This diverse survey of work addresses space, environment, ecologies, systems, nature, destruction, and potential solutions to process and combat the approaching denouement of human life. 

Cooper Union x Climate Week is a series of events that provides space for The Cooper Union, and the larger community at hand, to work across disciplines to discuss the most critical issue of our generation: the climate crisis.

The exhibition is on view in the 5th & 6th Floor Foundation Building lobbies.

Located at 7 East 7th Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues
