Sitting Still

You may not know his name, but chances are you know his work. Laurie Olin is the visionary landscape architect behind some of America’s most iconic public spaces, including the Getty Center Gardens, Battery Park City, Columbus Circle, the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden, Bryant Park, and many more. Sitting Still offers an in-depth portrait of this unconventional urban thinker, showcasing his deeply human-centered approach to design. Through a prism of the issues that have shaped his career—urbanization and a lost connection to nature, economic marginalization, and the grave importance of humanity in design—the film reveals Olin’s profoundly social vision.
