Abstract

The article focuses on Frederick Olmsted pioneered landscape architecture, designing Central Park and nearly a hundred other parks and campuses across the U.S. and Canada. It mentions Olmsted demonstrated a talent for wildly innovative designs that made use of a city's best natural features. It also mentions his scheme called for exposing rocky crags and planting tree species associated with high altitudes, thereby giving a modest hill the appearance of an imposing alpine peak.
