↑ modelling complexity : ‘union’,
I posit that 41 Cooper Square ( The Cooper Union ) desires for its atrium space, specifically its atrium void space, to
distort the grids it interplays with — here, the grid of the atrium’s lattice structure, the grid of the building’s structure,
the Commissioners’ Grid, and the grid lines forming Cooper Square and the rest of the buildings of The Cooper Union
