Architecture & Design Film Festival – World Premiere of Sitting Still, a film on Laurie Olin

World Premiere of Sitting Still, a film on Laurie Olin in NY Sept 27 at 8:45 and Sept 28 at 5:45.  The screening on Sept 28 will include Laurie Olin in Person.

You may not know his name, but chances are you know his work. Laurie Olin is responsible for many of the most iconic and beloved parks, gardens, and public spaces in the country, including the Getty Center Gardens, Battery Park City, Columbus Circle, the National Gallery of Art’s sculpture garden, the Washington Monument grounds, Bryant Park, Mission Bay, and Independence Mall, to name only a few.

 Sitting Still portrays this irreverent urban warrior and his profoundly social vision. This portrait of an artist is told through a prism of concerns that have defined his life’s work: urbanization and a lost connection to nature, economic marginalization, and the grave importance of humanity in design. Sitting Still invites the voices of other architectural luminaries into the conversation, including Frank Gehry, Billie Tsien, and Walter Hood.
