In conjunction with the VII Diploma Project Exhibition (PFC) of Spanish Schools of Architecture, part of the XIV edition of the Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (BEAU), The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture will host lectures by Antón García-Abril and Stella Betts on Tuesday, October 29 at 6:30pm, to be followed by a round table discussion with Assistant Professor Lorena Del Rio and Iñaqui Carnicero. The talk will be moderated by Dean Nader Tehrani and followed by a reception. The lectures and panel discussion will take place in the Third Floor Lobby. The reception will include the Third Floor Hallway Gallery.

The exhibition itself highlights award-winning entries constitute an overview of design strategies representative of final projects concluded in Spanish Schools of Architecture during the 2016-2017 academic year. The designs stand out for the way they intervene in the city, in their cultural heritage, and in the manifestation of several programs in the landscape. The projects are recognized not only for their spatial, social, cultural, technical, and functional values, but it is also their urban commitment, steeped in the principles of social cohesion and environmental efficiency, that distinguishes them.

  • 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.

  • “My feelings, my desires, my hopes, embrace humanity throughout the world,” Peter Cooper proclaimed in a speech in 1853. He looked forward to a time when, “knowledge shall cover the earth as waters cover the great deep.”

  • 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.

  • Peter Cooper wanted his graduates to acquire the technical mastery and entrepreneurial skills, enrich their intellects and spark their creativity, and develop a sense of social justice that would translate into action.
