Envisioning Landscapes

A new, expanded edition of the debut monograph of the visionary landscape architecture firm OJB uncovers the philosophy that guides the practice and reveals the transformative power of landscape through recent case studies.

OJB Landscape Architecture challenges the conventional boundaries of its field, emphasizing placemaking as a mechanism for healing, community-building, and celebration. At its core, the firm believes that landscape is a social and collective tool for integration, reclamation, and healing. This principle guides all of the firm s projects across sectors, from its designs deepening our relationship to nature, such as public parks and campuses for hospitals, to large-scale urban landscapes conceived to reconnect and revitalize communities, such as the acclaimed RiverFront in Omaha and others in which landscapes connect and build on each other over several years to create thoughtfully realized and impactful environments.

In this new, expanded edition, OJB shares its remarkable and meaningful work and the philosophy that drives it through 15 projects.
