Cooper Union Builds

The building is located between 6th and 7th Streets, catty-corner from the school’s main building. Detail of the screen facade, what appears to be a perforated metal with an applique of apparently random, painted rectangles. The renderings indicate that this last is as intended. One can see that this metal screen will continue across the Third Avenue facade , mounted to the cantilevered horizontal frame in the spandrel area. So basically the screen is a sculptural veil of a dumb glass and metal box.
