26th Annual Landscape Design Portfolios Lecture Series: All Three Sections
NYBG's 26th Annual Landscape Design Portfolios Lecture Series welcomes three distinguished, innovative landscape architects—Shannon Nichol, Shane Coen, and Lauren Stimson—whose work explores the multidimensional relationship between design and nature. Each speaker will share projects ranging from residential landscapes to museums, corporate headquarters, and public spaces, as well as their working methods, design philosophies, and lessons learned along the way.
Shannon Nichol: Forms, Weeds, and Real Life
October 15, 6:30-7:30 pm, Online
As co-founder of Seattle-based landscape design firm GGN, Shannon Nichol is committed to specifying local native plant palettes through long-term and norm-breaking collaborations with local horticulturalists and landscape managers around the world. Stemming from a lifelong enthusiasm and amateur familiarity with her home region's under-used native plants, Nichol has documented the successes and failures of incorporating native plantings into her own gardens over the last 15 years, a process that has heavily influenced her professional work and led to many creative explorations and friendships along the way.
Hear from Nichol as she shares learnings and insight from projects including—Chicago's Lurie Garden at Millenium Park, the Gates Foundation Campus in Seattle, and the Seattle Residence: Native Gardens.
Shane Coen: Context, Form, and Equity
October 29, 6:30-7:30 pm, Online
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 once car-centric thoroughfare re-imagined 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.
Hewill 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.
Lauren Stimson: On Wildness, Lost Landscapes, and Belonging
November 19, 6:30-7:30 pm, Online
Lauren Stimson, FAAR, ASLA is a landscape architect and partner at STIMSON, an urban and rural landscape architecture studio, working farm and plant nursery located in Cambridge and Princeton, Massachusetts. STIMSON values longevity, sustainability, education, ecological fluency, community, slowness, and they believe that the process is just as important as the end project.
Stimson will reveal her design thinking and planning approach as she shares projects including; the Artists' Trail at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut, which is home to to American impressionism, Northeast Harbor, a coastal garden on Mount Desert Island, Maine, that references historic landscapes as a basis for site restoration, Hardberger Park and Land Bridge, in San Antonio, Texas, a 300-acre public park celebrating urban ecology and pioneering large-scale green infrastructure, and Charbrook—a home, farm and studio for STIMSON, conceived as a landscape laboratory for their practice.
