Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frederick Law Olmsted, Landscape Architect, 1822-1903, Vol. 2: Central Park as a Work of Art and as a Great Municipal Enterprise, 1853-1895 The Olmsted and Vaux papers relating to Central Park comprise numerous reports published in official documents or as pamphlets - most of which have long been out of circulation - and in addition many unpublished letters, notes, and drafts - most of these latter from Mr. Olmsted's hand - written with greater frankness and free dom than the papers which were prepared with a view to publication at the time. All these Central Park papers, which form Part Two of the present Volume, have been grouped by subject (as the Table of Contents will show) in order to give a more logical and consistent presentation of the designers' conception of the general design, of planting, of architectural features, and of the use and keeping of the Park. The most important of the papers have been given in full, many of the lesser have been abbreviated. Preceding each' group will be found a little editorial introduction, which sets the papers somewhat in relation to each other and to the history of the Park.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dual portrait of America’s first great architect, Henry Hobson Richardson, and her finest landscape designer, Frederick Law Olmsted—and their immense impact on America As the nation recovered from a cataclysmic war, two titans of design profoundly influenced how Americans came to interact with the built and natural world around them through their pioneering work in architecture and landscape design. Frederick Law Olmsted is widely revered as America’s first and finest parkmaker and environmentalist, the force behind Manhattan’s Central Park, Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, Biltmore’s parkland in Asheville, dozens of parks across the country, and the preservation of Yosemite and Niagara Falls. Yet his close friend and sometime collaborator, Henry Hobson Richardson, has been almost entirely forgotten today, despite his outsized influence on American architecture—from Boston’s iconic Trinity Church to Chicago’s Marshall Field Wholesale Store to the Shingle Style and the wildly popular “open plan” he conceived for family homes. Individually they created much-beloved buildings and public spaces. Together they married natural landscapes with built structures in train stations and public libraries that helped drive the shift in American life from congested cities to developing suburbs across the country. The small, reserved Olmsted and the passionate, Falstaffian Richardson could not have been more different in character, but their sensibilities were closely aligned. In chronicling their intersecting lives and work in the context of the nation’s post-war renewal, Hugh Howard reveals how these two men created original all-American idioms in architecture and landscape that influence how we enjoy our public and private spaces to this day.

Download or read book Creating Central Park written by Morrison H. Heckscher and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2008 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2008 marks the 150th anniversary of the design of Central Park, the first and arguably the most famous of America’s urban landscape parks. In October 1857 the new park’s board of commissioners announced a public design competition, and the following April the imaginative yet practicable "Greensward” plan submitted by Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmsted was selected. This book tells the fascinating story of how an extraordinary work of public art emerged from the crucible of New York City politics. From William Cullen Bryant’s 1844 editorial calling for "a pleasure ground of shade and recreation” to the completion of construction in 1870, the history of Central Park is an urban epic--a tale not only of animosity, political intrigue, and desire but also of idealism, sacrifice, and genius.
