The New M.arch II program in Cooper Union

<p>Does anyone compete the M.arch II program this year? They started registration from 2006 and it was this year they decided to open for admissions. As I know, they only accept the application of Fall 2008, from April 21th to May 15th. That is a really-unusall deadline. </p>

<p>But, I am wandering how strong is this program? As this new program, do they sill continue their teaching style from the Bach, like the computer presentation is almost prohibited?... And how about the faulty team?... I do not know, welcome discussion on this post.</p>

<p>By the way, they only need 8 men this year.</p>

<p>woops, I read their faculty member,three full-time professors for this Master program. I am not sure if they are going to be teaching this program. hope it helps your understanding.</p>

<p>Diana I. Agrest
Diane H. Lewis
Ysrael A. Seinuk.</p>

<p>Has anybody from CU could give some review on their faulty?</p>

<p>well-- I know a few things-- seeing as how I just finished first year</p>

<p>Diane Lewis is pretty incredible-- one of the most amazing professors I have ever seen--- and this is including sitting in on fourth year crits with Lebeus Woods and Steven Holl, seeing crits with Ricardo Scofidio/ others--- she is highly critical-- and highly challenging.- did some work with IM pei I believe which is where she got her name initially doing some sort of glass jointing which she soon became an expert on-- she has built more then her fare share of buildings and should be a great professor to have on a March II.</p>

<p>Seinuk- dont know much about him-- but I do know he is a very famous engineer-- did the renovations for grand central- numerous other structures-- and would probably be another incredible person to learn from.</p>

<p>I don't know much about Agrest but I am sure you could look her up on the faculty profile list at the Cooper Union website. </p>

<p>I don't know what the program is going to be like-- however Cooper isn't so much anti-computer as it is pro drawing-- and now it is moving toward an integration-- but it will not leave drawing as an art of the past.</p>
