Shane Coen: Context, Form, and Equity

Founder and CEO of Coen+Partners, Shane Coen aims to redefine how we interact with people and place. His firm's ethos was founded on the commitment to always help define and push the boundaries of landscape architecture to bring earth and cultural equity to the forefront. The firm continues that journey today, leading and collaborating on some of the most complex urban and ex-urban landscapes in the world.

Coen will illustrate Coen+Partners' design evolution through different project scales, highlighting works including—Heart of the City in Rochester, Minnesota, a car-centric thoroughfare reimagined into a vibrant streetscape; Peavey Plaza in the City of Minneapolis; an iconic center revitalized to provide tranquility and accessibility for the community; and Sports Boulevard, a transformed transit corridor that promotes wellness and social exchange in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

He will also share insight into an equity-based urban planning project, Healing Landscapes, which proposes a new lens and method for planning open space systems in our cities.

We offer Continuing Education credits (CEUS) for LA CES and APLD for successful completion of this lecture.

Shane Coen

Shane Coen loves the moment an idea is formed. It may come from research, past experience, visiting spaces or instinct. It may come while you are playing or working, while you are alone or collaborating. It may come from your client, anyone on a team, or even a friend. It is in that moment that Shane feels the magic of design. The rigorous and iterative process that follows after the idea is formed is what he describes as the science of design. This unique individual and collaborative process has inspired Shane for the past 30 years.

Shane is a teacher, mentor, and collaborator. He has taught at Harvard's Graduate School of Design and lectures extensively. He is recognized throughout the world for his and the firm's commitment to a process that celebrates the social and environmental context of a project from start to completion.

Shane does not believe in separating work and life. He has always believed work and life are one and the same; balance is found in life, not in separating the pieces. He has a regular Kundalini practice and can often be found deep in the woods foraging for mushrooms and other edible plants and greens that grow all around us. Most of all, Shane finds meaning in strengthening his relationships with his partner, their respective children, families and friends. Shane Coen is the recipient of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian National Design Award and is the Founder and CEO of Coen+Partners.
