Summary:

"With increased attention to sustainability and environmental concerns, landscape architects now lead teams of urban planners and architects in developing new outdoor space and reconfiguring existing designs. As a leading landscape architecture firm in the United States, Olin is at the forefront of this movement with completed projects across the country and in Europe." "In dialogues with noted colleagues and collaborators, each of the partners articulates a personal vision and philosophy of landscape and design."--Jacket.
