Thank you, Herman Jessor presents a myriad of works by New York architect Herman Jessor, who designed more than 40,000 units of cooperative housing, including Co-op City in the Bronx, Rochdale Village in Queens, Penn South in Manhattan, and Amalgamated Warbasse Houses in Brooklyn, along with other complexes that constitute some of the largest cooperatively owned developments in the world today. These buildings embody the full spectrum of the modern movement, but also a forlorn approach to housing, when homes weren’t considered commodities, but rather a universal human right.

Since 2023, Zara Pfeifer has been documenting various housing structures designed by Jessor throughout New York. Together with architecture journalist Dan Roche and architect Brad Isnard, she curated the exhibition Thank you, Herman Jessor at The Cooper Union in New York. Interview by The Architect's Newspaper. Review by Samuel Stein in the New York Review of Architecture. The project is ongoing.
