We are thrilled offer an exclusive tour for the CAAB led by our own Wen Wen (CC BA, Arch. and Senior Associate, Safdie Architects) and the Park Ranger of the Frederick Law Olmsted Home, Office, and Gardens.

If you joined us for the Emerald Necklace Tour this past June, you will have already learned about his design impact in Boston, not just Central Park in NYC. Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is recognized as the founder of American landscape architecture. In 1883, after supervising the design and construction of such landmarks as Central Park and the US Capitol Grounds, Olmsted moved his family from New York City to 99 Warren Street in Brookline, Massachusetts.

It was here that he also re-established his office which was the first full-scale professional practice of landscape architecture. All the processes of design, from drafting to printing, were carried out here. Thousands of projects, from conception to completion, are reflected in the vast design records of the Olmsted firm.

Sign up fast since we are limited to 10 attendees.
