Visionary landscape architecture firm OJB reveals the guiding principles behind its award-winning work in this new, expanded edition of its debut monograph
OJB Landscape Architecture challenges the conventional boundaries of its field, emphasizing placemaking as a mechanism for healing, community-building, and celebration. At its core, the award-winning firm believes that landscape is a social and collective tool for integration, reclamation, and healing. This principle guides all of the firm’s projects across sectors, from its designs deepening our relationship to nature, such as public parks, and sites promoting restorative healthcare, such as campuses for hospitals and wellness centers, to large-scale urban landscapes conceived to reconnect and revitalize communities, such as the acclaimed RiverFront in Omaha and the other multi-project narratives in which landscapes connect and build on each other over several years to create thoughtfully realized and impactful environments.
In this new, expanded edition of OJB’s debut monograph, the pioneering firm shares its remarkable and meaningful work- and the philosophy that drives it - through fifteen projects of varied typologies across the United States. Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 color photographs, Envisioning Landscapes also includes a new foreword by The Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster.
