For more than half a century, Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. was one of America鈥檚 preeminent landscape architects who pioneered comprehensive planning and played a critical role in forming the nation鈥檚 county, state, and national parks.
Join NAOP, the National Building Museum, and our partners as we explore Olmsted鈥檚 lasting influence on issues specific to the American West, including park management, metropolitan growth, and the protection of the region鈥檚 unique environmental resources.
The most comprehensive presentation to date of the full scope of Olmsted鈥檚 legacy, the symposium will discuss the continued relevance of, and inspirations from, his visionary work as we seek to address contemporary challenges in landscape architecture, regional planning, and natural resource conservation.
