Lawrence Halprin

Wikipedia

Halprin’s work is marked by his attention to human scale, user experience, and the social impact of his designs, in the egalitarian tradition of Frederick Law Olmsted. Halprin was the creative force behind the interactive, ‘playable’ civic fountains most common in the 1970s, an amenity which continues to greatly contribute to the pedestrian social experience in Portland Oregon, where “Ira’s Fountain” is loved and well-used, and which has been a chronic failure at the transient-ridden United Nations Plaza in San Francisco.

 

In his best work, he construed landscape architecture as narrative.

Rainey, Reuben M. (2001). “The Garden as Narrative: Lawrence Halprin’s Frankllin Delano Roosevelt Memorial,” in Places of Commemoration : Search for Identity and Landscape Design, pp. 377-413.
