Cooper Robertson (now part of Corgan) is a New York–based architecture and urban design practice known for its wide-ranging portfolio, spanning individual buildings, public spaces, and large-scale urban projects. As waterfront design experts, they have worked at the local, state, and national levels to plan for resilient place-making in the advent of climate change.

In founding the firm in 1979, Alexander Cooper, FAIA, ventured to provide the best service to clients and communities by pursuing excellence in design at both the urban and human scales. The underlying and unifying theme of their work continues to attest that architecture and urban design are critically interconnected disciplines that must be taken together to achieve lasting quality and value.

Cooper Robertson's distinguished cultural practice—led by Erin Flynn, RA, and Bruce Davis, AIA—has guided the transformation and expansion of more than 55 museums around the world. Recognized as one of the USA’s leading firms in museum planning and design, Cooper Robertson has delivered major projects for institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, the Gateway Arch Museum, and the New Museum. The firm has also shaped long-term strategic planning and visioning efforts for the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Trust.
