About:

An architecture professor at Cooper Union, Kevin Bone has also taught at the Hochschule Der Kunst in Germany and at Columbia. For the past 25 years he has been a principal in a practice that offers contemporary architectural design, technical consulting, and historic preservation services. In this last area he has worked on the Margaret Sanger Clinic, the Cooper Union Foundation Building, both National Historic Landmarks, and on the modernist Penn Mutual Tower in Philadelphia. He has edited and contributed essays to these invaluable books: The New York Waterfront, Evolution of the Port and Harbor and Water-Works, The Architecture and Engineering of the New York City Water Supply. The research behind Water-Works was unearthed by a Cooper Union team that Bone directed.
