This debut monograph of the visionary landscape architecture firm
OJB uncovers the philosophy that guides the practice and reveals
the transformative power of landscape through a selection of case
studies drawn from the firm's thirty-year history. Founded in 1989
by landscape architect James Burnett, OJB - the Office of James
Burnett - has since grown to nearly one hundred professionals
working across five offices and has established itself as a leader
in the field for its ambitious approach to community-building
through landscape. At its core, the firm believes that landscape is
a social and collective tool for integration, reclamation, and
healing. This principle guides all of the firm's projects across
sectors, from its designs promoting restorative healthcare, such as
campuses for hospitals and wellness centers, to large-scale urban
landscapes conceived to reconnect and revitalize communities, such
as the acclaimed Myriad Botanical Gardens and the other initiatives
completed as part of Oklahoma City's Project 180 public works
program. This book highlights OJB's remarkable and meaningful work
- and the philosophy that drives it - through projects of varied
typologies arranged in a rhythm progressing from single works to
longer multi-project narratives in which landscapes connect and
build on each other over several years to create thoughtfully
realized and impactful environments.
