	Event Transcript \| A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmsted and America in the 19th Century
		So it’s in a very, very difficult design challenge for Olmstead and Fox to plan a park where you are basically very close to an avenue on each side with the noise and so on and the impact, the visual impact of the city, the future city because the city wasn’t there yet.
		But Olmstead wrote in his document that had accompanied the plan that this was going to be a park and there shouldn’t be any buildings at all.
		Olmstead was a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in 1870, after he had already said he didn’t want any buildings in the park.

	A Clearing in the Distance: Frederick Law Olmstead and America In the Nineteenth Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Olmstead's 1858 plan of Central Park established a new American pastoral aesthetic, uniting English picturesque elements, such as large, winding areas of grass, water and woods, within a harmonious but sharply circumscribed urban space.
		Rybczynski (City Life) depicts Olmstead as a zealous humanist who saw municipal parks as a civilizing force for a rapidly growing urban population that had little access to natural scenery.
		But in the final chapter, when Olmstead succumbs to dementia at McClean's asylum in Waverly, Mass., surrounded by grounds that he himself has designed, its hard not to be stirred by the loss of a true American visionary.

		Near the end of a long life otherwise steeped in serendipitous good luck and brilliant achievement, Frederick Law Olmsted—maker of our nation's first great urban parks and founding father of landscape architecture in America—succumbed to a senile dementia so severe it demanded his confinement in this institution he had intended for others a generation before.

		He is best known as the creator of major urban parks, but across the nation, from the green spaces that help define our towns and cities, to suburban life, to protected wilderness areas, he left the imprint of his fertile mind and boundless energy.
