ASLA Chapter: Minnesota Category: Works Firm: Coen + Partners, Minneapolis, Minn. Education: University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Mass., 1990 - Bachelor of Science, Landscape Architecture and Associate in Science, Horticulture Most notable professional accomplishments: My philosophy emphasizes the value of collaboration in conjunction with understanding and exposing the relationships found within a site, and its context. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR I have continued to develop my fascination with the juxtaposition of wilderness with the strong geometrical lines of human intervention. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR My work never seeks to mimic or recreate nature. Instead, I strive to celebrate nature through contrast and clarity of form. From the beginning of my time in the profession, I?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?ve been focused on the idea of interdisciplinary collaboration. I have always strived to work with the world?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s leading architects, artists, engineers ?EUR??,,????'?????<???(R) creative minds who would inspire and challenge me, and who would embrace a collective process and vision. I consider my cultivated philosophy and level of facile and innovative collaboration as my greatest accomplishments as a landscape architect. My firm?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s portfolio also demonstrates that while landscape architects can be tremendous assets on teams led by other design professionals, we are often most adept at assembling and leading collaborative teams. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR I have a deep love of architecture, and feel recommending the right architects for site specific and contextual projects are a natural role we should embrace. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR We have found these collaborations to yield very powerful design solutions. Finally, I have great pride in my work as a teacher of design. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR In addition to lecturing extensively across the United States, I have spent the past two fall terms teaching an options studio at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. I find it incredibly rewarding to work with the talented students and faculty there. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR Likewise, my work leading and mentoring staff at my own studio has allowed me to cultivate amongst my young firm a culture of collaborative design, thoughtful disagreement, and a critical context-driven approach that our work has become known for. Thoughts on being elected to the Council of Fellows: Most of all, I am honored to follow to in the footsteps of so many talented Fellows, many of whom I consider friends and mentors. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR It?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?s an honor to be counted amongst these leaders of the profession. ???????(R)?EUR??,,????'?EUR??,,?EUR I look forward to continuing to learn from and build relationships with these amazing colleagues in our shared desire to advance the profession of landscape architecture.
