OLIN is looking for landscape architects and landscape designers to join our Philadelphia and Los Angeles Studios. You’ll be joining us as we work toward our mission to create positive change through landscape architecture, urban design, and planning. We are advocates for the artful creation and transformation of the public realm and practice in a range of scales, including ecological and regional systems, urban districts, campuses, civic parks, plazas, and intimate gardens.
JAX PARK is a celebration of the city, its community, and the river – a park that will inspire thousands to visit, live, and enjoy downtown like never before. The OLIN team, led by Partner Trevor Lee, presented their competition design to the city of Jacksonville, Florida on June 24th, 2021. The park is inspired by the regional ecology and features numerous opportunities to play, reconnect with nature, or just relax. The epicenter of the park features kinetic artwork called ‘The Grasslands’ by Ned Kahn that creates a cool and relaxing micro-climate on the lawn beneath its polycarbonate pendulums.
JAX PARK is an urban catalyst that will spark economic development, and reconnect the communities of the south bank to the north bank of the river – foregrounding the importance of this spectacular urban space – as the new epicenter of Jacksonville. This is a place to reconnect to the river, elevate civil discourse, lounge, go on a date, have a business meeting, attend a concert, grab something to eat, or simply read a book in the shade – a place for everyone.
Thank you to the talented team of collaborators who helped us to create the design of a transformational, vibrant, and equitable park in the heart of downtown Jacksonville!
Most of all, thank you to the community and the city of Jacksonville for letting us get to know you. We are excited about the opportunity, this place, and its people. We have designed a park for Jacksonville that we would love to visit – we hope you agree!
