Engineering Building, Cooper Union, NY
Thom Mayne/Morphosis, Architects
Let's just say that this building is challenging. It is challenging to the urban landscape, it is challenging to look at it with an open mind, it is challenging to take a good picture of it and it is challenging to get past the guard-dogs in the foyer.
I did manage to take some photos on the outside, but my stay on the inside was very brief.
"What are you doing in here?"
"I just wanted to take a look and maybe take a picture or two of the foyer and stair."
"No. You must leave. Now."
"Look, I just want to glance up the stairs, see what it looks like, OK?"
"No. Leave now."
(Trying to make small talk). "What exactly do they teach here?"
"Classes."
Seeing as I wasn't ever going to be able to top that remark, I left.
