Edmund Hollander approaches landscape architecture from a holistic standpoint. “The three ecologies essential to a timeless project,” he explains, “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.” Which explains why Hollander’s award-winning firm was tapped to mastermind a 61,000-square-foot green-roof memorial as part of architect Steven Holl’s expansion of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the nation’s capital. That ongoing commission is an especially prominent feather in a cap that includes private landscapes, from eloquent to heroic, for titans such as theater scion Jonathan M. Tisch, real-estate magnate William C. Rudin, and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. ►New York, Sag Harbor, and Chicago; hollanderdesign.com
