No, not the one above. I took that last fall. Inhabitat has an "exclusive" look at the newish Cooper Union academic building. (Exclusive? Never mind the various photo essays that Curbed has posted in recent months...like this one...and this one...or these "exclusive" photos last fall from TrendLand...)
Still, the Inhabitat feature does have a few shots that I haven't seen before, such as these on the roof...
As the article notes:
Green roof gardens and terraces provide insulation to the interior spaces of the building while minimizing the "urban heat island" effect so prevalent in Manhattan. They also reduce the flow of storm water runoff and pollutants into city sewers.
Yeah, and some Cooper Union student totally has some weed growing in here...
Oh, and there's this shot too...
