Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The Great Hall has continued to be one of the most important venues in America. The first public meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was convened there in It was a venue for the labor movement as it organized workers on the Lower East Side.
In , Barack Obama appeared at the lectern of the Great Hall for the second time and called for sweeping financial regulatory reform. It was a message Peter Cooper would have understood well. Cooper Union's Great Hall was not only a forum for famous orators. It was also conceived as an arena for teaching students the skills of debate and democratic leadership. Peter Cooper, in his charter, established a student government that would play an active role in the administration of Cooper Union and he mandated term limits so that the largest possible number of students could play an active role.
Cooper was a man of his city—he lived and died only a few miles from his place of birth near the docks of lower Manhattan—and an American patriot, whose office featured portraits of his heroes, Washington and Lincoln. Between them hung a portrait of Lafayette, a reminder of the world beyond the borders of the United States. Although the phrase had yet to be invented, Cooper was a global thinker. Founded by inventor, industrialist and philanthropist Peter Cooper in , 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.
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. The many cultural, educational and civic institutions of the city provide an inexhaustible resource for research and experience outside the studio and classroom.
At a time when the nature, role and scope of the architect is rapidly assuming new directions and dimensions in both social and technological domains, the school emphasizes the principles of design and their underlying human values. The architecture curriculum is designed to prepare students for a rich array of opportunities in the profession, while offering a broad cultural and intellectual foundation in the liberal arts as they relate to the design of the environment at all scales.
The discipline of architecture interpreted in the widest possible sense is seen as a basis for a fully-rounded education at the undergraduate level. Students are encouraged to develop their design skills within a comprehensive framework of studios and courses that stimulate debate and research into all aspects of architecture in society - historical, aesthetic, technological, and political.
There is a strong emphasis on the ethical responsibilities of the design professions towards society, and the role of the architect as interpreter and framer of the spatial needs of the community, specifically in the domain of environmental and conservation issues.
Participation in student government is an opportunity for further professional and civic development. The School of Architecture offers a five-year program leading to the Bachelor of Architecture, a first professional degree. The five-year Design sequence is carefully structured to introduce the student to the principles of architectonics, the investigation of program, site, structures and environmental and building technologies, in a comprehensive and integrated curriculum.
The design sequence moves from an introduction to the basic elements of form, space, and structure, to complex institutional design problems in their urban context, culminating in a year-long thesis that demonstrates the student's ability to synthesize a comprehensive understanding of a significant architecture in society.
The traditional and essential skills of drawing, modeling, and design development are complemented by a full investigation of the analytical and critical uses of digital technology. The study of world architecture and urbanism is deepened by the understanding of individual cultures, environmental, and technological issues at every scale. The theory of the discipline, past and present, is investigated through the close analysis of critical texts, and is related to the theory and practice of other arts, such as public art, film, and video.
