Don’t get distracted by the tall silo-looking building in the left side of the image. The Cooper Union, the beautiful block on the right, is the newest addition to Cooper Institute of Arts and Science in New York. This building represents the institution’s goal to be innovative in art and engineering. The building is relatively open to the public for viewing and has become a cultural center for New York.

The interior features a unique, high climbing lattice as well as interesting staircases. There is plenty of exposure to natural light, and an atrium that offers views of the city.
