Background

My name is Stephanie Braconnier and I’m a designer with a background in architecture, landscape & urban design.

In 2016 I founded the studio FUTURE LANDSCAPES with the ambition to amplify the development of context-specific, locally derived, naturally resilient design solutions by exploring the design and composition of landscape systems through visualization. The act of visualization is an act of design and I believe that visualization is a keystone to being able to fully develop design concepts.

In the urgent environmental challenges facing our world the role of landscape architecture has been a relatively untapped resource. Human understanding and buy-in is required on a deeply personal level to tackle difficult issues. However the problems and solutions remain abstracted, the scale herculean, and the landscape response has been scaled thus. Visual communication and graphic representation help communities and stakeholders understand the complex relationships at work in design, and mobilize decision-makers to act.
