Description

Education of an Architect: A Point of View, Museum of Modern Art, New York City, November 12, 1971

On November 13, 1971, the exhibition “Education of an Architect: A Point of View” — featuring the work of Cooper Union student architects under the direction of the chairman of the Department of Architecture, John Hejduk, and the dean, George Sadek — opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The installation of models, drawings, and photographs, along with faculty and student statements, documented work from 1964 to 1971. At the time, Ada Louise Huxtable wrote, “This spectacularly beautiful work, elegant, formal, and totally detached from the world around it, represents a kind of counterrevolution in today’s educational thought and practice.”
