Stan Allen is an architect with offices in Princeton and New York. In addition to recently completed houses in New York and Los Angeles, current projects include buildings for the Botanical Garden at the University of Puerto Rico, a contemporary Music Center in Taiwan, and ongoing architectural work at Fresh Kills, in Staten Island. From 1999–2003 he worked in collaboration with James Corner/Field Operations. The work of this interdisciplinary collaboration was recognized with first prizes in invited competitions for the re-use of Fresh Kills in Staten Island, (2001) and the Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena, California (2002). In 2000 they won the competition for a garden at the French Consulate in New York, (now complete) and were finalists in the competition for the 320-acre Downsview Park in Toronto. 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) and his theoretical essays in Practice: Architecture, Technique and Representation, published in 2000 by G+B Arts in their Critical Voices series. He lectures and publishes extensively, both in the U.S. and abroad, and participates in numerous international design conferences and symposia. In addition to design awards and competition prizes, he has been awarded Fellowships in Architecture from the New York Foundation for the Arts, The New York State Council on the Arts, a Design Arts Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Graham Foundation Grant, and a President's Citation from The Cooper Union in 2002.
