The first biography of one of the most influential landscape architects of the 20th century, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: Making the Modern Landscape draws upon archival research, site analyses, and numerous interviews with Cornelia Oberlander and her collaborators. Oberlander spent a lifetime practicing socially responsible and ecologically sensitive planning for public landscapes and her work has been instrumental in the development of the late-twentieth-century design ethic. Author Susan Herrington joins Oberlander in conversation about her works and career.

The CCA holds a nearly complete archive of Oberlander’s projects and research, representing every period of her career. The series They want to speak with you invites design and architecture professionals to discuss their most recent projects.
