Lauren Stimson: On Wildness, Lost Landscapes, and Belonging

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.
