Superstudio Spotlight: OLIN Labs Year of the Green New Deal
Philadelphia-based landscape architecture, planning, and urban design firm, OLIN responded to the Green New Deal Superstudio open call with a multi-pronged effort that included four practice-based design studios and making 2021 the Year of the Green New Deal at OLIN Labs, the firm's research and knowledge-sharing arm.
The studios focused on diverse topics such as expanding landscape architecture’s toolkit for good job creation and large scale land management strategies, infrastructure, and social justice for fence-line communities impacted by fossil fuel production. Most of these initiatives have been tied to current projects, clients, and communities and offer real potential for concrete, sustained action.
In this webinar, hear from the OLIN Superstudio leaders about their work and how it will continue through longer-term research and advocacy initiatives.
