Stan Allen graduated from Cooper Union and Princeton University, and currently teaches architecture at the Graduate School of Architecture at Columbia University, where he runs the Advanced Design Programme. He is the author of many theoretical writings published for the most part in the review "Assemblage", which he edited. He has developed a wide-ranging catalogue of urban strategies combining maps and diagrams analysing the informal determining factors of architecture. Since 1999, this work has been carried on within the Field Operations organization, in New York and Philadelphia, which consists of Stan Allen and the city-planner and landscape designer James Corner. Nowadays their work is greatly concerned by the theoretical and practical developments of ecology, be it social or environmental. As finalists in the Downsview Park competition in Toronto, and of the Hunger Memorial at Battery Park in New York, they have just been declared winners of the "A Garden in Manhattan" competition run by the cultural department of the French Consulate in New York.
