This is the academic building done in 2009 by Thom Mayne and his team at Morphosis for Cooper Union. It features a double skin facade with the outer skin a perforated stainless steel and a curtain wall glazed envelope. Sketchup had a hard time of capturing the west facade- which was definitely the most intricate of the street frontages. I think the original skin was probably a NURB as it featured curved lofted surfaces transitioning to polygon surfaces. What'd be rather fun would be for someone out there to model the grand stair in the building's interior. Now that would be a challenge.
