for the book launch of MURIEL COOPER, published by MIT Press (2017). 
Authors David Reinfurt and Robert Wiesenberger will be joined by Prem 
Krishnamurthy to discuss the timeliness of Cooper's work *now.*

Muriel Cooper (1925-1994) worked across four decades at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology in overlapping roles as a graphic designer, 
teacher, and researcher. Spanning the transition from print to early 
explorations of digital typography to immersive information environments, 
her career maps onto one of the most dynamic periods in the Institute's 
history. At the MIT Press, Cooper designed the publisher's iconic logo, 
gave form to many books central to the history of art and architecture, 
and developed design and production standards still in use today. At the 
Visible Language Workshop within MIT's Department of Architecture, she 
taught experimental printing and hands-on production and tested new 
photography and video systems. And as a founding faculty member and the 
first woman to be granted tenure in the MIT Media Lab, she developed new 
software interfaces and mentored a generation of designers.
