    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.

  • Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character
    Chapter 9: Neighborhood Character A. INTRODUCTION As defined by the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual, neighborhood character is considered to be a combination of the many elements that creates each neighborhood’s distinct personality. These elements include land use, urban design, visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomics, traffic, and noise, as well as the other physical or social characteristics that help to describe the community. According to the CEQR Technical Manual, an assessment of neighborhood character is generally needed when the action would exceed preliminary thresholds in any one of the following areas of technical analysis: land use, urban design and visual resources, historic resources, socioeconomic conditions, transportation, or noise. An assessment is also appropriate when the action would have moderate effects on several of the aforementioned areas. Potential effects on neighborhood character may include: • Land Use. Development resulting from a proposed action could alter neighborhood character if it introduced new land uses, conflicts with land use policy or other public plans for the area, changes land use character, or generates significant land use impacts. • Socioeconomic Conditions. Changes in socioeconomic conditions have the potential to affect neighborhood character when they result in substantial direct or indirect displacement or addition of population, employment, or businesses; or substantial differences in population or employment density. • Historic Resources. When an action would result in substantial direct changes to a historic resource or substantial changes to public views of a resource, or when a historic resource analysis identified a significant impact in this category, there is a potential to affect neighborhood character. • Urban Design and Visual Resources.

  • 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.
