Title |
Frederick Law Olmsted and the Design of Mount Royal Park, Montreal
|
Abstract |
The author points out that while American landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted is best known for his magnum opus -- Central Park in New York City -- he created many other interesting parks, none more interesting that Montreal’s Mount Royal Park. Interesting for several reasons, the author explains: Mount Royal represents Olmsted at a more mature stage in his career than does Central Park; it was a rather special example of design of an open space under difficult physical, political, and economic conditions; and it illustrates in a specific way Olmsted's theories of landscape architecture as uniquely defined sociological and aesthetic assumptions.
