You may not know his name, but chances are you know his work. Laurie Olin is responsible for many of the most iconic and beloved parks, gardens, and public spaces in the country, including the Getty Center Gardens, Battery Park City, Columbus Circle, the National Gallery of Art’s sculpture garden, the Washington Monument grounds, Bryant Park, Mission Bay, and Independence Mall, to name only a few. SITTING STILL offers an intimate look into the mind of Laurie Olin, a brilliant and irreverent landscape architect dedicated to designing public spaces fostering democracy and equality. At a time when profit often outweighs people, Olin’s work stands as a testament to the power of landscape in addressing environmental crises and social divides.
