Thom Mayne's 'John Locke meets the Borg' Cooper Union Academic building is shaping up for new students to immediately get lost in. Much has been made of the retro skip-stop elevators and the magnificent crooked staircases that lead you to no place in particular, but did you know that it will also have a fantastic green roof?! Well, sort of. These pictures show off the new roof garden, which is not accessible to students, however a terrace next to it is open, so watch for flying cigarette buts when walking by. Already at home on the roof is the relocated eagle saved from Penn Station. Keep your fingers crossed to see if any of his real life brothers take up residence in any number of the crazy spaces in the skin of this building.
