His firm, and the successor firms that sprung from it, worked through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to shape some of our most beloved green spaces, including national, state, and city parks, suburban neighborhoods, and academic campuses. He is most famous for creating New York’s Central and Prospect Parks, Stanford University’s campus, and the Capitol Grounds. What is less known and surprising about his legacy is that he worked widely across North America. By highlighting 200 iconic landscapes, many of which are still open to the public today, Experiencing Olmsted brings a fresh approach to the firms’ work and philosophy. It highlights not only grand city parks, but also other public venues born out of a desire for social equity. Olmsted was an early voice for parks as democratic spaces that could be reached on foot by a large percentage of any city’s populace. He viewed parks as restorative places—what he termed “the lungs of a city.” Brimming with contemporary and archival photography as well as original drawings and plans, this truly remarkable record brings these places to vivid life.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 216mmAuthor: The Cultural Landscape Foundation, Arleyn Levee, Charles Birnbaum, Dena Tasse-WinterGenre: Architecture & AntiquesSubtitle: The Enduring Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted's North American LandscapesISBN-10: 1643260367Item Width: 24mmItem Weight: 1420gRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
