Innovative, brilliant, and pioneering are just a few ways to describe Laurie Olin, one of the world’s most renowned landscape architects and urban designers. The mind behind the design of Bryant Park, the Getty Center, and the Grounds of the Washington Monument, Olin has built a career defined by bold experimentation and a humanist approach to shaping space, profoundly influencing the look of the modern city. 

Through candid interviews with Olin himself, archival sketches, and reflections from colleagues and collaborators, Sitting Still offers a rare glimpse into the mind of an iconoclast, with his story and unique vision becoming a lens through which urgent questions of sustainability, equity, and climate change come into focus.
