Today, we’re excited to formalize a longtime partnership as we announce the acquisition of OJB Landscape Architecture. The result: a union of Populous’ expertise in creating iconic, people-centric destinations with @OJBLA’s award-winning portfolio of transformative landscape design and public realm work. Working together on @Baylor’s McLane Stadium showed us not only the depth of OJB’s collective knowledge, but also their unwavering commitment to design as a way to connect. That focus on design as a connector mirrors our own focus, designing the places where people love to be together, and we’re excited about the possibilities that await.

Landscape Architecture Magazine takes a closer look at Downtown Cary Park in its September issue, exploring how the park has become both a beloved public destination and an ongoing experiment in biodiversity, stewardship, and urban ecology. Designed by OJB, the park transforms the site’s existing topography into a landscape where water, habitat, recreation, and public life work together. Its stormwater system manages runoff from 18 acres, while an exceptionally diverse planting strategy continues to evolve as the park’s horticulture team studies how species perform, adapt, and support wildlife over time. Since opening in 2023, Downtown Cary Park has also helped demonstrate what investment in landscape can mean for a growing community, with the article reporting a 156 percent increase in visitors to downtown Cary over the three years the park has been open. We’re honored to see the evolving life of the park featured in Landscape Architecture Magazine and to see how thoughtful design and long term stewardship can continue working together long after opening day.

We’re honored to see Anderson Towers recognized in both the Urban Design and General Design categories of @fastcompany 2026 Innovation by Design Awards. The project reimagines two aging Los Angeles office towers and their five-acre site as a vibrant urban destination, creating a true workplace in a garden. As cities consider the future of aging buildings and underutilized public spaces, Anderson Towers demonstrates the potential of thoughtful design to transform existing environments into places that better serve people, communities, and the future. Congratulations to the entire project team and this year’s Innovation by Design honorees.

Landscape architecture is no longer the layer that comes last. It is increasingly becoming the framework from which we design. @architizer latest feature, “Beyond the Object: How Landscape Architecture Became the Framework for Contemporary Practice”, explores how climate, ecology, water, community, and public life are reshaping the role of landscape architecture within contemporary design. OJB’s Downtown Cary Park is highlighted as an example of this shift: a landscape that functions simultaneously as civic infrastructure, ecological system, and public destination. We’re proud to see this work recognized among the broader conversation about where design is headed, and the increasingly essential role landscape plays in shaping it. Read the full article on @architizer website.

“Diers’ elevation to ASLA’s 2026 Council of Fellows is one of the highest of the profession’s honors, recognizing individuals whose works, leadership and service have made a lasting impact over time.” - American Society of Landscape Architects @nationalasla The elevation to the Council of Fellows of the American Society of Landscape Architects is given in recognition of a body of compelling work and the impact on the profession. We celebrate @dillon_diers on this well-deserved honor as he joins 35 members of the distinguished 2026 Class. His beautifully composed work is changing the way we look at workplaces, campuses and public open space, especially in constrained urban settings. Congratulations, Dillon! Diers is exceptional at uniting design artistry with ecological performance. Across projects in California and the Southwest, he has advanced climate-responsive strategies that address drought, heat, and environmental change through inventive planting design, material reuse, and water-conscious systems. His landscapes are both highly functional and visually compelling, demonstrating how sustainability and beauty can work together to shape meaningful places.

Metropolis is one of those rare publications that talks about the way communities grow and thrive, rather than just spotlighting projects and products. Timothy Schuler visited Downtown Cary Park with OJB and Machado Silvetti to learn how the planning process helped create a new center for community with a strengthened downtown. It is no surprise that the park has downtown in its name. Across the country, we’ve been privileged to work together to plan, program, and design high-performance civic spaces that are engines of economic and social cohesion. Investing and planning for open space as this kind of catalyst is at the heart of what we love to do. Check out his story on our website, and if you are near the Research Triangle area in North Carolina, stop by the park to see joyful community in action for yourself.

What if an airport could offer more than a place to wait? At Pittsburgh International Airport, the new UPMC Terrace creates an unexpected moment of connection to the outdoors, inviting travelers and the public to step outside, gather, take in the landscape, and experience the airport in an entirely different way. Designed by OJB, the 36,000-square-foot terrace brings landscape, architecture, and public experience together in a space designed for more than movement. It offers a moment to pause, connect, and engage with place. It’s a reminder that some of the most meaningful landscapes are the ones that change how we experience the places we already know. Read more about the new terrace and the thinking behind the project at ojb-studios.com.
