Imagine that the issues of race, ​ income, education, and unemployment inequality, and the resulting segregation, isolation, and fear, could be addressed by planning and urban design. Would we design better places if we put the values of equality, equity, and inclusion first? If communities articulated what they stood for, what they believed in, and what they aspired to be, would they have a better chance of creating healthy and vibrant places? This exhibition features the research of the Just City Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, examining five design and planning cases in New York City. By using the Lab’s Just City Index, the case studies will explore how the design teams behind these projects took a values-driven approach to addressing conditions of injustice in the city.

    Dean *Anthony Vidler to receive ACSA Centennial Award The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) announced today that Anthony Vidler will receive a special Centennial Award at next week’s 100th ACSA Annual Meeting in Boston. Anthony Vidler is Dean and Professor at the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture of The Cooper Union, where he has served since 2001. The Centennial Award was created by the ACSA Board of Directors in recognition of Dean Vidler’s wide ranging contributions to architectural education. Says Judith Kinnard, FAIA, ACSA president: “Anthony Vidler’s teaching and scholarship have had a major impact on architectural education. We invited him to receive this special award during our 100th anniversary and give the keynote lecture because of his extraordinary ability to link current issues in architecture and urbanism to a broad historic trajectory. His work forces us to question our assumptions as we engage contemporary conditions as designers.” Anthony Vidler received his professional degree in architecture from Cambridge University in England, and his doctorate in History and Theory from the University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. Dean Vidler was a member of the Princeton University School of Architecture faculty from 1965 to 1993, serving as the William R. Kenan Jr. Chair of Architecture, the Chair of the Ph.D. Committee, and Director of the Program in European Cultural Studies. In 1993 he took up a position as professor and Chair of the Department of Art History at the University of California, Los Angeles, with a joint appointment in the School of Architecture from 1997.

  • Cost $166-Million
    THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION November 13, 2011 Cooper Union, Bastion of Free Arts Education for the Deserving, Mulls Tuition By Scott Carlson *Jamshed Bharucha, Cooper Union's new president, stands in front of a statue of Peter Cooper, the wealthy philanthropist for whom the college was named. Last year Cooper Union ran a budget deficit of about 27 percent. Mark Abramson for The Chronicle The last time Cooper Union charged tuition to a full-time student was in 1902. Around then, Andrew Carnegie gave the college a gift that would allow it to meet the wish of its founder to make education as "free as air and water," as Peter Cooper had put it. Students here—in the college's well-known programs in the arts, engineering, and architecture—are selected based on talent and promise, not on what they can pay. At a time when tuition at some colleges has reached stratospheric amounts, Cooper Union's cherished and lofty educational ethic is quite unusual in academe. And it is also endangered. On Halloween night here in the East Village, Cooper Union's students gathered to hear Jamshed Bharucha, who has been president for merely four months, lay out some staggering facts about the institution's finances: For years, the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art has been burning through the unrestricted part of its endowment to cover shortfalls in its budget, and his administration predicts that the cushion will be gone in two to three years. Cooper Union's new academic building, designed by the star architect Thom Mayne, is a landmark—and cost $166- million.

  • GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD of SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 Gcschool.Org
    GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD OF SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 gcschool.org Mission Statement Grace Church School aims to establish in its students firmly rooted confidence in themselves and their abilities. Because we believe that school experience sets the foundation for lifelong intellectual and social growth, we strive to develop in each student mental keenness, physical confidence, pleasure in learning, and the skills basic to understanding one’s self and the world. Our structured curriculum, enriched with broad opportunities for creative expression, assumes as fundamental the mastery of a specific range of academic skills, especially the ability to express one’s own ideas and to appraise those of others. Yet the educational goals of the school are broader than intellectual and social development. We nurture in our students a steady, affectionate trust in themselves and their world, made resilient by the interaction of different ethnic, religious, and socio-economic influences. We strive to help each student develop an active ethical consciousness, supported by close acquaintance with Judeo- Christian beliefs and enhanced by the beauty and faith inherent in Grace Church. We encourage a mutually supportive relationship between family and school. We aim to have students graduate from Grace Church School with a strong sense of self, able to think clearly, function well academically, and embrace coming challenges with confidence. OVERVIEW For over a century, Grace Church School has been enriching its students’ lives by weaving tenets of the Episcopal school tradition—social justice, community engagement, ethics, and personal integrity—into a rigorous, thoughtfully evolved curriculum. Families who join Grace do so because the school offers an outstanding academic experience within an inclusive, diverse, and accepting community.

    THE COOPER UNION ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIRST COMMENCEMENT 26 MAY 2021 THE GREAT HALL THE IRWIN S. CHANIN SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL OF ART ALBERT NERKEN SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING THE COOPER UNION | ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-FIRST COMMENCEMENT PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Congratulations all! What a moment of celebration this is. You have reached an extraordinary milestone in the midst of extraordinary times. Today, on the occasion of the 161st Commencement for The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, we honor your dedication and all you have invested to hone your practice and reach the high bars of achievement that you set for yourselves and each other. In this time especially, you no doubt accomplished more than you thought you were capable of doing. Your innovative spirit has been on full display since your early days on Cooper Square, and during the pandemic, that spirit evolved further and was strengthened by your resilience, persistence, and reliance on one another. Just as importantly, your compassion grew as you learned that taking care of yourselves, your families and friends, and each other was critical work. These are all characteristics that you will draw from in the years ahead. You found new ways of learning, making, doing, and leading—even during the most daunting days. You tackled not only your own work with rigor but also global issues that need your thinking and contributions—from climate change and the fight against social injustice to the sustainability of our cities and the needs of underserved people everywhere. You experienced the impact of using your voices, resources, and platforms, and you prompted change here at Cooper, in New York City, and around the world.
