This event is open only to current Cooper Union students, faculty and staff.

Christoff:Finio Architecture (C:FA) is a New York-based architecture and design studio committed to making buildings and environments that bring meaning to place. We seek to make physical and cultural connections in our work as a way to help shape the public and personal space of memory. We take great joy in exploring a contemporary language of architecture rooted in material expression and intellectual rigor. This approach is realized through collaboration with a broad group of forward thinking clients
and consultants.

Lecture in Room 315F. Lunch will follow in the School of Architecture lobby.

You may watch a recording of the lecture on The Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture Channel.
