Landscape Architecture is a celebration of place, and successful design recognizes the natural and social processes that shape a place. Olin Partnership has created, in a broad range of contexts, landscapes that succeed both as social spaces and as environmental systems. By synthesizing the best of art and science, we seek to transform natural and man made elements into expressions of social purpose, reconciling the character of the place with its contemporary adaptations. The firm takes a long term view of design, believing that strong, clear schemes supported by innovative detailing and fine, lasting materials are essential to melding social needs with physical resources. Design that provides functional accommodation, symbolic meaning, and aesthetic richness can make timeless human environments. Olin Partnership has established an international reputation for excellence in landscape architecture. The firm's clients include renowned architects, planners, public agencies, corporations, institutions, development groups and foundations worldwide. The diverse experience of the firm encompasses environmental analysis, master and site planning, and landscape design, documentation, and construction administration for a broad range of projects, including mixed-use urban developments, corporate headquarters, educational and cultural institutions, and public parks and civic spaces. Clients have come to expect fresh, inventive solutions that are solidly grounded in ecological sciences and advanced construction technologies. The firm's staff of landscape architects, architects, designers and planners collaborate with a broad range of design and technical professionals to realize complex and imaginative design concepts. Partner involvement on each project promotes an interactive relationship with the client, and assures responsive treatment of programmatic requirements.
