Welcome Lucienne Snyder-Robertson!
Assemblage is excited to introduce our newest team member!
Lucienne Snyder-Robertson, from Ithaca, New York, is in her final year of SUNY-ESF's BLA program. She has served as a guest critic for Graphic Communications courses in the Cornell Landscape Architecture Department, contributing her design perspective to student work and reviews. She draws design inspiration from personal experience, admiration of other designers and artists, and from time spent outdoors.
Recently returned from a study abroad program in Copenhagen, Lucienne has been rethinking how buildings and the landscape interact and what it means to have cohesive design. While abroad, Lucienne visited Operaparken, a project by COBE, and experienced first hand how architecture and landscape can merge to create a cohesive experience. Lucienne was particularly inspired by the deeply intentional and narrative derived planting plan, showing just how powerful plants can be in describing the history of a place.
While at SUNY ESF, Lucienne has deeply valued her hands on experience of working with a local community to develop a concept design for a memorial to the unhoused. She enjoyed hearing and balancing a diverse set of perspectives and incorporating art and plants into the space. Lucienne is excited to design future public spaces where people can visit, build memories, and feel a part of a larger community.
Outside of the studio, Lucienne enjoys many creative expressions like painting, drawing, and welding. She also tries to spend as much time outdoors as possible, and has most recently been enjoying watching the larches change color upstate.
Working with Assemblage Landscape Architecture has closely aligned with Lucienne’s own aspirations to sensitively incorporate ecological resilience into her design practice. In her time with the studio, she has fostered a growing interest in the adaptive reuse of former industrial waterfront sites, particularly in how these landscapes can respond to the most pressing environmental shifts that will alter our coastlines and landscapes.
