Zachary Boggs is a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of City and Regional Planning at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP). He is an award-winning landscape architect and urban designer with over 15 years of professional experience, working on projects spanning urban planning to construction documentation across the U.S. and internationally, including the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York and Chengdu City Park in China.
His educational background includes a Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA II) from Cornell University (2010) and a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Colorado State University (2001), both earned with honors.
Boggs specializes in urban design, public space, and interdisciplinary landscape architecture. His work emphasizes the integration of design practice with academic teaching, and he has maintained a dual career in both domains for over six years at Cornell. He co-founded KornerLot Design + Development LLC with his partner Isabel Boggs-Fernández, where they explore design at multiple scales, including landscapes, buildings, interiors, and urban interventions.
He has received numerous accolades, including the ASLA Award of Honor, the Clarence Stein Fellowship, and multiple Urban Land Institute and Landscape Architecture Chapter Awards of Merit. These reflect his excellence in design and urban thought.
Boggs is also actively engaged in advising through teaching, co-instructing courses such as Graphic Communication for the Planning Department. While no formal student advisees are listed, his role as a lecturer involves mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. He has been involved in grant-supported and fellowship-recognized work, including the Clarence Stein Fellowship and ULI awards, which have supported his research and design initiatives.
He is a core member of KornerLot, a design collaborative that also operates Ithaca Lights, a lighting design store and consultancy, and engages in micro real estate development and short-term rentals. The team functions as an interdisciplinary design and research unit focused on public space innovation and community-based design solutions.
