200 Iconic Landscapes That Define North AmericaFrederick Law Olmsted is the father of American landscape architecture. He is most famous for creating New York's Central and Prospect Parks, Stanford University's campus, and the Capitol Grounds. 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.
It highlights not only grand city parks, but also other public venues born out of a desire for social equity. 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.
