FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED

A PHILOSOPHY OF DESIGN

The Kirkbride plan, and architects H.H. Richardson and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted collaborated on the Richardson Olmsted Complex in Buffalo, New York. The Kirkbride plan specified the building's design to incorporate natural light and ventilation, while Richardson created the architecture and Olmsted, along with Calvert Vaux, designed the landscape to support the therapeutic goals of the asylum.
