I had the pleasure today of taking a tour of Morphosis’ new building for the Cooper Union (thanks Hayley!). The building, which will be completed approximately in May 09 will be the new science and engineering labs for the school.
Take a peek at some more images after the jump below.
The mesh from the interior pretty much disappears. The stainless steel panels are operable, they are all attached to hydraulics which can open them with just pressing a button.
The grand stair in the atrium. It is a pretty vast space.
This has to be my favorite detail of the entire building. One of the main columns by the lower level gallery rests on a pipe.
