Landscape Architecture

Roberto Burle Marx was a Brazilian landscape architect and artist who integrated modernist design principles with the native flora and topography of Brazil. Working from the 1930s through the 1990s, he designed gardens and public landscapes that departed radically from European formal precedent, instead treating plants as sculptural and chromatic elements in compositions of bold geometric forms. His work bridged landscape design, painting, and urban planning, extending modernism into the natural environment.
