Nearly two years into a global pandemic, after multiple periods of self-isolation, we are refamiliarizing ourselves with the pleasures of the outdoors. Research shows that engagement with nature— however brief—can have a restorative effect on our bodies and minds. Now more than ever, we all want to be outside, at least for some period of time. Manufacturers have responded in turn, delivering a new generation of outdoor products that are designed for an expanded format. AN’s annual Outdoor special section foregrounds these innovations, while also drawing attention to a case study with plenty of lessons to impart. We also speak to Stimson, the recipient of American Society of Landscape Architects’ 2021 Landscape Architecture Firm Award, for insights on a postpandemic world.
