At Penn, he studied with [[Ian McHarg]], the [[Glasgow, Scotland|Glasgow]]-born [[urban planner]] and [[ecologist]], whose book ''Design with Nature'' revolutionized the way landscape architects can shape the land. McHarg taught his students to look at each site as a cross-section of layers: [[topography]], [[soils]], [[geology]], [[climate]].

Hollander believes each landscape can be analyzed by studying its three ecologies: The site's natural ecology, including topography, soil and climate; the architectural ecology of the house as it will appear in the future, along with related structures; and its human ecology, meaning the many ways in which people will use the property.<ref>{{cite news |title=Hollander: The Luxury of Home |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=November 2016 |website=Landscape Architecture Magazine |publisher=Landscape Architecture Magazine, the monthly magazine of the American Society of Landscape Architects }}</ref>

OccupationLandscape Architect
OrganizationHollander Design Landscape Architects
SpouseWendy Powers

Edmund David Hollander (born September 3, 1954) is an American landscape architect and educator. A New York City native, he is the president of Hollander Design Landscape Architects, a New York-based firm known for environmental planning, landscape design and horticulture. The firm provides services to residential, commercial and civic clients.

According to Hollander, the cornerstone of his practice is his theory of the "Three Ecologies": Ecology of site, Human Ecology, and the Ecology of Architecture.[1] In the introduction to his book, The Good Garden, Hollander opined: “A powerful landscape unfolds like a story. Your land is your home and within your home is the house."[2]

Hollander has taught at the Graduate School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania and at City College of New York.

Life and career development

[edit]

Early years and education

[edit]

Edmund Hollander was born on September 3, 1954, in New York City and grew up on Manhattan 's Lower East Side. His mother, Jean Kopelman, was a New York television producer and his father, Alvin L. Hollander Jr., was an executive at WCAU-TV in Philadelphia.[3] He attended Vassar College from 1972 to 1976 and received a bachelor's degree in history and botany,[4] then studied ecology and horticulture for three years at the New York Botanical Gardens School of Professional Horticulture. In 1983 he earned in his master's degree in landscape architecture with a focus on ecology from the University of Pennsylvania.

Design Influences

[edit]

At Penn, he studied with Ian McHarg, the Glasgow-born urban planner and ecologist, whose book Design with Nature revolutionized the way landscape architects can shape the land. McHarg taught his students to look at each site as a cross-section of layers: topography, soils, geology, climate. In the studio, they practiced his “layer cake” technique of overlapping transparent sheets of Mylar, each with a schematic of hydrology, soil, and areas of forest, marshland or fragile dunes.[5]

Other masters of design who taught at Penn, including Arthur Edwin Bye[6] and Laurie Olin,[7] challenged the Penn graduate students to consider every aspect of how people live in a particular place and to think about design holistically considering a site's cultural history and its place in the community, along with the site's built elements.[8]

Personal

[edit]

Hollander was married to Wendy Powers on June 20, 1992, at the Piping Rock Beach Club;[3] the couple has a daughter, Renata. They own Freddy, a rescued schnoodle. They live in Sag Harbor and New York City.

Career

[edit]

After graduating from Penn, Hollander first worked at the Delta Group in Philadelphia, then was recruited by the firm of Clarke & Rapuano in New York City. There he worked on commissions such as the Westway Waterfront Park on Manhattan's West Side and a new ecologically based corporate headquarters for Merck Pharmaceuticals. Simultaneously, he was developing his residential design practice with Penn classmate Maryanne Connelly.[9]

Hollander Design Landscape Architects

[edit]

In 1991 Hollander founded Hollander Design Landscape Architects with Connelly. Hollander Design has offices in New York, Chicago and Sag Harbor, N.Y., and a staff of 25 environmental planners, landscape architects and horticulturists. The firm has created hundreds of landscapes, both public and private, around the world, and usually manages about 30 projects at any one time. The company's portfolio concentrates on the greater New York area including a number of summer homes on Long Island's East End as well as a roster of New York City urban multi-family dwellings.[10][11]

Design approach

[edit]

Hollander believes each landscape can be analyzed by studying its three ecologies: The site's natural ecology, including topography, soil and climate; the architectural ecology of the house as it will appear in the future, along with related structures; and its human ecology, meaning the many ways in which people will use the property.[12] “The three ecologies essential to a timeless project,” he explained to Architectural Digest, “are the architectural ecology of the buildings, the natural ecology of the vernacular landscape, and the human ecology of how the clients will inhabit the landscapes we create.”[13] He consults with the architect involved in designing a new home or remodeling an existing structures, as well as the homeowner and family, "envisioning their lifestyle and finding out what’s already there that they love." When designing a landscape, Hollander focuses on what plants and trees are appropriate for the land, favoring native species and those that will survive in the existing soils. However, he also knows that landscaping are living things, and plans for those changes to come.[14] Hollander, writes J. Michael Welton in Ocean Home magazine, "views his profession's commitment to every landscape as akin to the Hippocratic Oath: First, do no harm. He seeks to work with the natural ecology of a site, the human ecology of his client and the architectural ecology of the building."[15]

Notable projects

[edit]

Public, non-profit or government

[edit]

Washington, D.C.

[edit]
  • John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Washington, D.C.: The Reach - Hollander's firm has redesigned "landscaped paths, outdoor seating, gathering places, dining options, and an outdoor stage and a video wall" as part of a 61,000-square-foot expansion on 4.6 acres immediately south of the original 1971 structure.[19] The redesigned landscape complements new pavilions that were dedicated in September 2019.[20] The landscape now features a grove of 35 ginkgo biloba trees planted to honor President Kennedy, as well as curved areas planted with "sedum, a succulent grass sturdy enough to grow vertically when the curvature of the landscape calls for it."[21] Hollander's firm and the project architect, Steven Holl Architects, worked to harmonize the original modernist building, designed by Edward Durell Stone, with its surroundings, to make the center more accessible to the public, and to deaden the noise from nearby motorways.[22][23]
  • The Parks at Walter Reed, located on the grounds of the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center, courtyard project - pro bono project for HELP USA.

Merck also encouraged Hollander's team to convert the 460-acre property into an "ecological laboratory," featuring native plants and elimination of lawns.[25] Merck & Co. sold the entire property to UNICOM Corporation, a division of UNICOM Global, in 2018.[26]

Residential

[edit]
  • Maycroft, a private residence in North Haven, N.Y., is a 136-year-old country house located on a 43-acre lot on which Hollander worked to save existing native plants; part of that effort was to move the existing house and turn it 260 degrees so it better fit with the existing flora.[31]

He has volunteered his services to a number of restoration projects in Sag Harbor, N.Y., which prompted the Sag Harbor Partnership to award him in 2017 its Annual Community Service Award.[58] These activities include:

  • The Sag Harbor Whaling Museum, for which he developed conceptual plans for a new landscaping plan.[63]
