Taking the history of the subject of the body in Western Architecture theories as a point of departure, M. ARCH II students Sally Chen, Yingxiao Chen, Giedre Darskute, Nien Ying Lin, Jamie Lindsey, Austin McInnis, Roni Schanin, Doosung Shin and Qincheng Wu thread their work from the Fall 2019 Advanced Design Studio I taught by Prof. Diana Agrest, Architecture as a Transcursive Field: Film, into a cinematic ensemble featuring multiple storylines.  Titled New York Revelations, the film develops through chapters representing each students’ contribution in revealing the subject of the body exposed to the city to form a collective narrative. Their explorations utilize the conventions of genre to unfold a filmic reading of the city. 

The film will be introduced by Prof. Diana Agrest. 

This event is open to current Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff. Room 315F.
