# Conceiving the Plan: Nuance and Intimacy in Civic Space - Hardcover

by **Yael Hameiri Sainsaux** (Editor), **Barry Bergdoll** (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), **Dan Graham** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

**Projects and dialogues in homage to the influential New York architect and educator Diane Lewis**

Combining civic architecture projects with contributions by writers, historians and artists ranging from Dan Graham to Fran Lebowitz, _Conceiving the Plan_ constructs a dialogue with the legacy of the late architect and longtime Cooper Union professor Diane Lewis (1951-2017).  
Lewis' pedagogy defined Cooper Union's architecture departure from the 1970s to the mid-2000s. Here, architectural historians Barry Bergdoll and Daniel Sherer converse about the themes and approach in her pedagogical style and thinking. Architects, former students, colleagues and friends generate projects as a continuous discourse with Lewis' pedagogy, carrying her legacy into contemporary dialogues.  
_Conceiving the Plan_ includes more than 250 images and diagrams of projects pertaining to Lewis' legacy by Georg Windeck, Preston Scott Cohen, Dorian Wiszniewski, Pippo Ciorra and Peter Lynch.
