Cornell Tech is a new applied sciences university on Roosevelt Island that inverts the traditional, insular campus into an outward-looking and inviting place. In collaboration with James Corner Field Operations, Cornell University, Technion Israel Institute of Technology, and the City of New York, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill created the master plan and served as the master architect for the campus—conceiving a place that knits seamlessly into the promenades and green spaces of the island while fostering interaction and creativity.

Moon Village: Construction on the Moon. Five decades after humans first set foot on the Moon, SOM, the European Space Agency, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are proposing a bold new initiative to return. The project—a village planned for construction on the surface of the Moon—will be the first full-time human habitat in outer space. The plan combines the expertise of the space industry with knowledge from the realms of architecture, urban planning, science, and psychology to create an environment in which humans will be able to survive and thrive on the Moon.

Speaker Colin Koop presents the strategies that make these projects possible and explains how the research can also be applied to problems here on Earth.
