In a career spanning more than fifty years, Laurie Olin has built a reputation as one of the most visionary landscape architects in the world. In Sitting Still, Olin gives his life lessons. With his typical humanistic approach, he addresses his concerns about nature and how we interact with other people. He talks about his dreams, memories, thoughts, and the ideas behind his books such as the influential Be Seated, in which he wrote about the importance of public seating and public spaces. We also hear from, among others, Frank Gehry, Billie Tsien and renowned landscape architect Walter Hood. Olin himself, full of wisdom, understanding and humor, emphasizes the importance of the traces we leave behind in our lives. An antidote for a cynical age.
