41 Cooper Square Social Analysis: David Diez — “As a building, standing out in the New York City is a difficult task; however the Cooper Union hosts a new building that is living up to the challenge. The 41 Cooper Square was designed by Morphosis Architects, and commissioned by The Cooper Union as an addition to their campus in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The design of this academic building started in 2004 and finished construction in 2009, but not without controversy from local residents.”
