Landscape architect F. L. Olmsted and architect H. H. Richardson collaborated on a number of schemes through 1860s into 1880s. The present paper pointed out thus attributed projects to the number of twenty three, as shown in Figure 1, and identified respective role in ten major conjoint works. Olmsted acted as an environmental mentor to Richardson, and led this most congenial architectural collaborator to cultivate the following framework of his professional career. 1) Pursuit for distinct architectural forms, corresponding to then uprising social forces - commercial core and outlining rural zones, 2) Search for the geological imagery, expressive of an American identity, and 3) Improvement of design methods in the use of bold rockwork. The resulting creative integration of two different design practices is to be ascribed to their mutual notion of effect of organic expression, which derived from the Picturesque tradition, and of a new art form or natural architecture based upon strictly American sources of inspiration ・ the land, as well as recognition of the new social environment.
