Stan Allen is a practicing architect and principal of SAA/Stan Allen Architect. From 1989-2002, Allen taught at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where he was also the Director of the Advanced Design Program. After working for Richard Meier and Partners in New York and Rafael Moneo in Spain, he established his own practice in 1990. Stan Allen was the Dean of the Princeton University School of Architecture since 2002.
His built work to date includes galleries, gardens, workspaces and a number of innovative single-family houses. Responding to the complexity of the modern city in creative ways, Stan Allen has developed an extensive catalogue of urbanistic strategies, in particular looking at field theory, landscape architecture and ecology as models to revitalize the practices of urban design. His urban projects have been published in Points and Lines: Diagrams and Projects for the City (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 1999, reissued in 2004) and his theoretical essays in Practice: Architecture, Technique and Representation, reissued in 2008 by Routledge. Landform Building: Architecture's New Terrain, a 450 page book based on the conference held at the School in 2009, was published by Lars Muller in 2011.

LESSONS FROM MODERNISM:
Environmental Design Considerations in 20th Century Architecture,
1925 - 1970
|
Opening Reception
JAN 29, 2013
6:30-8:30pm
|
Lessons From Modernism examines selected works of architecture completed between 1925-1970 through the lens of sustainability. Through an analysis of the influence of nature and the environment in architectural design, Lessons From Modernism provides new insights into works achieved by a diverse selection of architects, including Le Corbusier, Paul Rudolph, Jean Prouvé and Oscar Niemeyer. The exhibition demonstrates how these architects integrated environmental concerns into their designs and explores the extent to which these practices have produced environmentally performative and distinctive architecture.

NEW!! CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS | PLOT is the annual journal produced by the Master of Landscape Architecture students of the City College of New York's Spitzer School of Architecture. The theme of PLOT Volume 2 is PATCHWORK. Used both as a noun and a verb, patchwork carries multiple interpretations: a composition of incongruous parts, an ad-hoc assemblage, a disparate array establishing a cohesive pattern. A patchwork technique might explore the idea of the landscape as a quilt of seemingly disparate spaces, joined together in new or revelatory ways. Patchwork might also be considered as a strategic makeshift or temporary measure, on the ground or in the books.
Submissions are open to all: students, professors, practitioners, collaborators, and friends.
