Professor: Diana Agrest
Instructor: Masha Panteleyeva

The Master of Architecture II design studio focused on projects dealing with current critical issues in architecture. Students selected one of two given cities. The exercise, while given to the whole class, afforded an opportunity for individual students to focus on their area of interest, be it Urban Studies; History, Theory, and Criticism; or Technologies. Emphasis was placed on the design process and readings of the cities were developed emphasizing drawing as a tool for critical thinking as an intrinsic part of the process – through personally elaborated maps, graphics, diagrams, drawings at various scales and aerial photographs.

  • 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.
