    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.

  • Raimund Abraham: Rund Um Den Nullpunkt
    Falter, Wien. Nr. 13 / 1986 Raimund Abraham: Rund um den Nullpunkt Ein Falter-Gespräch mit Raimund Abraham (New York - Wien), anfang der sechziger Jahre mit Hans Hollein und Walter Pichler Mitbegründer des ‚Austrian Phenomen’ einer neuen experimentellen Architektur und heute einer der führenden theoretischen Köpfe der Avantgarde für eine Architektur nach der Postmoderne. Der Anlaß: Seine Ausstellung ‚Stadtfragmente' im Otto Wagner-Archiv in Wien. Seine Gesprächspartner: Dietmar Steiner und Christian Reder, beide tätig an der Hochschule für angewandte Kunst in Wien. +++ Steiner: Was uns ‚Hinterbliebene' immer interessiert: Warum weg aus Wien, warum solange New York, warum nicht zurück. warum nicht woanders hin? Abraham: Das ist einfach zu beantworten. Ich fühlte mich plötzlich eingeengt, es gab da so einen Stillstand. Mein Studienkollege und zeitweiliger Arbeitspartner Friedrich St. Florian, der schon an der Rhode Island School of Design tätig war, hat mich dann, 1964, für eine kleine Ausstellung und ein Seminar eingeladen und dort hat man mir eben eine Professur angeboten und so bin ich geblieben. Zuerst war ich ein paar Monate in New York, dort habe ich Frederick Kiesler kennengelernt und er hat mir sein Atelier zur Verfügung gestellt, weil er krank war, und so habe ich zum ersten Mal diese Stadt erfahren. Das war wie eine Erlösung. Und in den zwanzig Jahren seither habe ich gelernt, wie der Abstand zur eigenen Kultur Sensibilitäten hervorruft, z.B. in Bezug auf die Muttersprache, die man ohne ihn nicht findet. Inzwischen hat sich New York wie jede andere internationale Stadt auch dem Innentourismus geopfert . Die Leute verlieren ihr Gesicht, die Stadt wird anonym.

  • 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.
