The book explores the profound impact of Frederick Law Olmsted and Henry Hobson Richardson on American architecture and landscape design following a devastating war. Olmsted, celebrated as a pioneering parkmaker, designed iconic spaces like Central Park and championed environmental preservation. In contrast, Richardson, though less recognized today, significantly shaped American architecture with landmarks like Trinity Church. Together, they transformed urban and suburban landscapes, creating a lasting legacy that continues to influence how Americans interact with their environments.
