Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America

Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America

Release Date: 2014-05-01

Overview: To Olmsted, a park was both a work of art and a necessity for urban life. Olmsted’s efforts to preserve nature created an “environmental ethic” decades before the environmental movement became a force in American politics. With gorgeous cinematography, and compelling commentary this film presents the biography of a man whose parks and preservation are an essential part of American life.
