One of the most renowned landscape architects in practice today,
Laurie Olin has created designs for the grounds of the Washington
Monument, the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, and Bryant
Park in New York City. His recent projects include the
award-winning landscape for the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia,
Apple Park in Cupertino, and Simon and Helen Director Park in
Portland, Oregon. All these and many more iconic works were
realized under the auspices of OLIN, the landscape architectural
firm he cofounded in 1976. Olin is also a prolific writer, and in
this volume a selection of his published work has been assembled
for the first time. The collection comprises articles, lectures,
and essays spanning a wide array of subjects--from horticulture and
education to urban history. Olin's musings on his own creative
development, the evolving state of the profession of landscape
architecture, and many other topics will interest a wide range of
readers. As a young man, Olin studied civil engineering at the
University of Alaska and earned a degree in architecture from the
University of Washington, where Richard Haag stimulated his
interest in landscape and the poet Theodore Roethke encouraged his
literary skills. Through a long and distinguished career, he has
enlivened the field with his humanistic perspective and his
multivalent approach to urban design. The author of several books,
including, most recently, France Sketchbooks: The Travel
Sketchbooks of Artists and Designers (2020) and Be Seated (2018),
Olin is among the profession's most influential voices. A Fellow of
both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American
Society of Landscape Architects, he is a recipient of the 1998
Award in Architecture from the American Academy of Arts and Letters
and the 2011 American Society of Landscape Architects Medal. In
2012 Olin received the National Medal of Arts--the highest lifetime
achievement award given to an artist by the president.
