Cooper, Robertson & Partners[1][2] is an international architecture and urban design firm headquartered in New York City.
Founded originally as Alexander Cooper and Associates by Alex Cooper in 1979, the firm has designed a number of significant planned communities, urban infill, and transit-oriented developments, including Battery Park City in New York and the new communities of Celebration, Florida,[3][4] Watercolor, Florida and Val d'Europe[5] outside Paris, France. Also known for architecture, open space design, and university campus planning, the firm's work includes a plan for the expansion of Harvard University's campus[6][7] into Allston, Massachusetts, MOMA QNS,[8][9] (the Museum of Modern Art's temporary home in Queens, New York), the New Albany Country Club in New Albany, Ohio outside Columbus, the new Columbia University School of Social Work building[10] in Upper Manhattan, the Visitor Center at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia, the Framework for Campus Planning for Yale University,[11] Zuccotti Park (a one block park adjacent to the World Trade Center site on Liberty Street in Lower Manhattan), and numerous houses, many of which are in the Hamptons on the East End of Long Island and in the Caribbean.
Alex Cooper and Jaquelin T. Robertson attended Yale College and Yale School of Architecture during the same period and also worked together in the New York City Department of City Planning. When Robertson joined the firm in 1988, the firm changed its name to Cooper, Robertson & Partners.
